Mexican Black King Breeders??

lgehrig4 Mar 31, 2005 09:15 PM

Does anyone know of any breeders of this snake? I can only find a captive born pairs or single sexes in the classifieds. I also went through just about every breeder/store on this site and I haven't found anyone that currently has any.

Thanks
Jeff

*Moderator* I posted this in the afternoon and when I went to check back in the evening it was gone. I assumed it was deleted by you so read over the rules again changed the wording. If you decide to delete this one as well please send me an email and let me know exactly what I am doing wrong. All I want to know are some breeders.

You mentioned that you can only find captive bred pairs and single snakes. That's what breeders sell. I imagine most breeders of MBKs are sold out (like myself). Like most colubrids, these are generally available as babies in July and August.

I actually said said captive born. It was my understanding that this meant that the mother was already pregnant when captured or that they are from farmed parents. I'm specifically looking for a private breeder of these snakes. Know any?

thanks

Literally every Mexican Black King offered for sale is captive bred. Nobody imports these snakes. There are a heck of a lot of MBK breeders out there - including myself.
