Illinois locale bull

I have kept a lot of snakes over the years, but I have to say these guys rank right up there with L.t.gaigeae as my all time favorites...beautiful, massive, eating machines with tons of personality! Now, if I can just get them to sit still for pics!

Thanks for looking!

Awesome bull! I agree that the northern bulls are very eye catchy and lots of fun to have around! I also have that problem of getting them to slow down enough for a picture! Speedy things!

Nice Newton County Bull... Ive had a few of those and like them a lot... now have a pair of young Kankakees from the other side of the same prarie on the Indiana side. Nice to find another local Pit lover in NC! Below is my Canadian male bull, who is currently digesting 3 medium rats... and when hes done.. oh the bs that will follow..LOL

You got your states mixed up there. Kankakee is in Illinois, Newton is in Indiana.

Nice. I've seen a ton of bull snakes in Illinois, and that one is cleaner than most.
