He is awake and after looking pretty rough after coming out of brumation he looks fantastic after his shed. He is now waiting for rats top be thrown his way.

NICE ANIMAL, Keith. How big is he now?

He is about 5'5" or so. Im sure he would be bigger but he hardcore goes off feeding between April-August. In fact I just tried to feed him and he is done with food. I did get a couple of mice in him last week at least. When are we gonna see some new pics of that big male GA you have ?

Wow, it's a shame your monster don't eat like mine (all the time). Sorry to say, but my monster is actually a large Florida King, not a GA. king. He's thick, not obese, about 68" long and slamming rats hard!!!Tomorrow evening I should be able to get some pics. My only Ga. kings I have are the ones I got from Kevin E. last year.

I was actually referring to your GA Kings from Enge when I mentioned Monster Kings. My male NJ Eastern when hungry can tear thru 2-3 rats at a time but when when there is lovin' in the air he goes without LOL. On the otherhand I have a Brooksi King that is over 5' that loves blazin' thru rats as well no matter what. Here is a pic of him.

Keith,

That old fella looks great! Do you plan on breeding him this year! Also I'm sure i'm not the only one that would love to see more pics of the big Monmouth eastern, especially ones with you holding him to give us a sense of how big he really is!

I'm looking at his son from 03' that I picked up from you. It's been a struggle to get him switched to mice pinks! Just last week he finally took his first mice pinkie with a little brown anole scent! Because of the slow switch over I haven't been able to put as much size on him I would have liked to. He's around 18" or so! These guys seem to be a little more of a challenge to get started vs. a hatchling florida kings but definintely well worth the wait.
