While cage cleaning today a took a few pics of some of the kings that I keep. This is a Palm Beach county floridana.

This is one of my Iredell county N.C. easterns. As luck would have it, all three of the ones I keep are in a shed phase, but this young female is least blue.

This holbrooki is from southern Missouri blood lines.

My sentimental favorite. This is the king that I grew up with in my area. Hardin county Kentucky nigra.

A Dade county bloodline "brooksi" phase floridana.

Some time in the future I plan on getting some better pics in a more naturalistic setting in the sun light.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Thomas. I have been enjoying your pics for a while and thought I should throw a few up.

Wow Phil not only do you see nice looking Snakes in the field but you have them right in your house as well ! I really like the look of that Eastern you have posted ! Did you get any offspring from them this year ? If you have or do get em going pencil me in for a pair.

Regards,

Keith

Thanks Keith. I'm probably looking at 06 before I will be producing any easterns. At this point I have a 1:1 yearlings and an adult female to work with. I sure do like the looks of these though, all three are very well marked. I'm trying to get in touch with the breeder and see if he has any adult males from the same line he wants to part with. That would be put me a year ahead.

Cool keep me posted. Also Mind if I use your pic ?

Will do. You can use it if you like, but I should hopefully have some much better pics soon if you want to hold out.

I've got an adult male from Mecklenburg County, about 2.5 miles south of the Iredell County border.

Here he is as a juvie. He's about 3.5-4 feet now.

Let me know if you need him on stud duty

Thats one fine looking eastern Pierson. I really like the looks of the N.C. localities. I might take you up on your offer. I should find out soon whether I'll be able to get a mate for it or not. A friend of mine that owns a pet shop knows the breeder of the snakes I have but doesn't have his number. Next time he comes in for rats he's going to get his contact info for me.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Keep them feeding pics coming!

You have some awesome looking snakes. Also enjoy your field photos throughout the beautiful state of Ky. Keep um coming.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. Glasd you enjoyed.

one of my many favorites

Is that Florida King the one I'm thinking of?

Thanks Sean. The Florida king in the pic is from Palm Beach county near Pahokee. Got him from Dwight earlier in the year. I will have to say, those Florida kings are some of the best feeding snakes I have ever been associated with. As you can see, the one in the pic hasn't been missing many meals.lol! The female snake has filled back out real nice after laying this year. The only problem with her is she has a tendency to shun her hide box and spend too much time in her water dish. The girl completely wrecks her box about every other day. The South Bay male I have is getting absolutely huge. His weight has probably doubled since last March.
