My male is getting huge, so I thought I would share a couple pics. He started eating like 3 fuzzies at a shot and is really getting long now. This is such a unique species, just make sure you have some skinks ready.

Very nice, Gerard. How big do these get?

I know of a 4 footer being found in Okeechobee County. Probably the largest one seen.

The snake was almost solid brown. It may have been the one pictured here:

Wow, that's bigger than I expected.

I think they max around 36" but Mark could give a better answer on that. Once they get on mice they start getting there a lot faster.

That's a nice manageable size.

Cool Gerard. I am beginning to appreciate those mole kings more and more these days. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the prairie kings apart from some mole king locales, but I am color blind and that does not help!!!

I'm starting to like the north Florida ones a lot more now. Florida defiantly has the coolest king snakes, to me at least.

Pretty funny to think that yours wasn't too much more than a twinkle in the father's eye when that pic was taken..LOL!
Yours was still waiting for one of the "kids" to swim upstream to become something..HAHA!!..
