Eastern King

wolfman38 May 21, 2004 08:05 AM

I am interested in purchasing an Eastern King, but am unable to find any breeders. If anyone can point me to a good breeder of the Eastern King, it would be appreciated.

Also, how big of an enclosure would one need for an adult Eastern King. Most of te carsheets that I have read are for Kingsnakes in general. And I know that the Eastern can easily out grow many other Kings. Any info would be appreicated.

My eastern king is close to 6ft. Caught him almost 20 years ago. I kept him in a 20gal. tank, until about 5years ago, bought a rack with the 32qt. tubs, thats what he is now. Maybe a 41qt. would be better for a 6fter, but he does great.

He was found in Prince George County MD. Just about 20 years ago.

Never posted a pic before. How do I.

Kingsnake.com gives you a free photo account. Just sign up and upload pics. There is a button that says browse thats when you find wherever the pic is on you computer and then hit upload. Once its in your account you can access it at the bottom of any post you do on the forums via a scroll down type menu at the bottom. Let me know if this works for you and if not I can help you out some more.
