I was doing a quick clean/feed/water run today on my kings, and my hypo is laying. She's at 7 so far, looks like maybe 2-4 more in her. Had planned to go hiking but I'll hold off to see what she finishes at. Kind of want to lay her post lay weight (she was 841 grams in 4/2 right when she shed).

She only shed like 3 days ago too. Quick turn around on the shed to lay.

We wouldn't have 6 and a half billion people if you had to be beautiful to get laid.

florida king. She's hypo het axanthic poss het peanut butter; the male is a possible triple het.

I've got a white sided florida that's gravid too (I think she's gravid) and an albino and a mosaic I'm thinking didn't take (despite being over 350 grams at the start of the season, oh well).

I'm not breeding other kings because I don't like cal kings that much, and speckled and desert kings require paperwork here in texas. I may do MBK's some day, maybe.

yep. ANy native subspecies requires you to purchase a 63 dollar permit and submit records of sale sto the state (who you sold to, in state vs out of state, etc). It's a pain.

I think calligestars fall into it too (we have at least one type of prairie king anyhow) as would a few of the milksnakes...but Eastern, Florida, Cals, Blacks, Mexican Blacks, etc are all fair game It's just that I like the MBKs and Florida's the most out of those.

Yes, we have to purchase a Non Game Dealer's permit.
A Texan cannot sell any "White List" animals to another unless they have the Non Game Permit. But if one owns the Non Game DEALER's permit they can sell to anyone.
For all of the "White List" animals we have to keep all of those records only for a possible audit by Texas Parks and Wildlife.
We also have to send in a yearly list of the "White List" animals you have in your collection. We do not have to share what we sell and to whom or what we buy and from whom unless we are audited. I know of no one that has been audited except for one local pet store.
