Off topic Black Headed Python but man these are like holding a Giant kingsnake. This guy belongs to a friend and is 9.5-10' long! Ive held much larger Pythons and Boas and they dont compare in sheer strength and movement, just an impressive snake.

Very nice kings Lu!! I would love to see how they look as they grow. On the black headed python, well, those are one of the few snakes on my very short list should I ever decide to just downsize to a few animals. I LOVE those things and have heard nothing but positive information on them-------SAVE THE PRICE!!!

i agree, the Black headed Python is super cool! The hernandos look like they are the A typical Floridana look. Very cool. Hey Lu didn't you used to have some Rob Roy Canal stock Brooks? MBrawley was inquiring about them in a post above.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?
