Also why that particular snake is your favorite. If possible include some stats on your snake i.e. size,sex and locality if applicable etc... This is just for fun and a really just a good excuse to look at Eastern Kings !

is my 2003 Georgia locale Eastern produced by Will Still from Kevin Enge animals. This is also the only snake in my collection that has a name. My Daughter and I came up with the name "KING REX". I normally dont name snakes but he is such a cool animal I couldnt resist. He is around 42" long and shows no signs of slowing down in growth. What I like about him over all my other Kings is color and pattern along with decent size with great potential to truly become a giant, plus he has a bit of a bad attitude along with everything else!

everyone has seen this girl. Of my three easterns she is my fav because i raised her from a tiny sick looking hatchling to a magnificent creature of beauty.She is not nearly as big as she looks in this pic, pretty sure she is way under 60"

This is my favorite! The ULTIMATE RAT POUNDER!!! The pic says it all!!! That's my hand - had to hold since he's so restless, (I'm 6' and 182lbs) and a dollar bill on the floor for comparison. . . .

Man thats a beauty ! He reminds me of my Georgia male with those wide bands.How old is that snake ?

Thanks. He's about to be cooled off for the winter so he can breed to that big female I got from you! Still trying to figure out his true age. . .When I have a little time on my hands, I will see if I can track down the former owner Mark Bell. He was sold by triple L reptile as a "surplus" breeder. They didn't know anything except that it came from Mark Bell . . .

I wonder if thats one of Kevin Enge's Bumblebee Kings ? Its what he called the really wide banded ones that he hatched out. He has been producing those for years. Did you ever hear back from Bell as to what the history on that animal was ? I mean really it looks alot like a Enge animal from his Echols Co male and Tift Co. female. ??? What do you think ?

Thanks, Thomas! I will definetely save you some nice & big offspring! I know that with your care they'll probably get to seven foot! I'll keep you posted. As soon as the eggs are laid you'll know!
BTW: I'll ALWAYS REMEMBER CLEO - that guy RULED! (Did you ever weigh him before he passed away?)

Take care

...'KingPin' is a beautiful animal none the less. He is an '02 Will Still animal and about twice the size now as he was when I took this picture.

My favourites however are his 2 younger sibs from '03, their orange/red colouring is remarkeable but I'm afraid their temperaments leave a bit to be desired, and I'll be damned if I can get them to sit still for a decent photo either! I'll keep trying...this guy is pretty nice once out of the enclosure, is an absolute eating machine and very thick these days.
