Maryland female eastern kingsnake.

She is to be bred to the 52" maryland male that is shown on Keith's site. I'm really fired up about next year's breedings. She is 37" and quite smaller than the male. I'll watch these two very closely.

I wouldnt worry too much about it Bob I have the same size discrepancy in my NJ's and the male is only interested in one thing and thats making more little snakes. I would watch them closlely though as I do with all my breedings regardless of size. She is looking nice I must say and I cant wait to see babies next year !

I love these Piedmont Maryland and the D.C. snakes (same eco-type), by pattern they seem distinctly different from the southern Maryland animals from Calvert County.Meeting SweetPickle at the Hamburg show helped stoke the kingsnake fires a bit. Dang, he has a huge collection of easterns (east coast colubrids). He might give you a run for the money.

I should be recieving 2.2 Georgia's from Will Still late this week when my check clears. 1.1 gorgeous black-bellies and 1.1 red-thin-chained animals that I'll bring into the albinos. I also arranged a deal for a group of albinos and hets 2.5 that will arrive mid November. I'll be able to add 1.2 of them (possible hets) to next years breeding program. I should be able to breed 1.3 albinos in '06 and I'll have 1.3 hets for '06. All told I'll have 3.8 albinos, hets, and pos. hets ready in '06.

I'm glad I don't have a collection problem like you and Peter, lol,
