Just some shots of my old gal from this month. Not the best shots but I'm 6'4 for reference.

Very nice Matt. A husky eastern king for sure.
Off topic, but how large is your andean milk. Does it have a faster, slower, or about the same growth rate as your black milk? Personalities/temperment about the same? I'm picking up an 08 black milk in a few days. I find andeans interesting milks as well. Steve

Thanks, I wish I had a male to breed her to. The Andean is a slower grower than the Black milk, and all of my black milks (I've had 3) have been/are calmer than the Andean. Having said that, the Andean is a great snake! The black milk is just so calm and relaxed, and just flat out striking as it is jet black and very shiny in real life.

Here's some OLD pics of my black milk

Gorgeous animal. It's cool to see them in their bright tri-color phase, then they go through that ugly phase, and then the end result is stunning. Steve

Oh, and I haven't seen my Andean in over a year as I've been gone on a long military trip. I finally get home in 3 weeks. He's in foster care but I think he was about 3' when I left. He got a little stunted his 2nd year as I was also gone and he was not fed much. Hopefully he has grown a bit as I hope he's been getting good care while I have been gone.

I'm sure you'll be surprised by his size when you get back. Thanks for your service. Steve

Wow, Matt, that's one big mama and a great looking eastern king. I'll bet she pounds down a lot of rodents . . .
