Keith, that boy is huge. Good God, he must have come out the egg at 20 inchs or so, LOL. What is the locality on him? He sure is a good looking King. Thanks for the pic.

He was produced by Will Still from Kevin Enge Georgia animals. He was maybe 13" when I got him not a giant hatchling by any means but not a tiny one either.

Man Keith, Everytime I see you post a pic of that king, I am more and more impressed. What a beautiful specimen! It's one thing to see closeups of it coiled up but I really enjoyed seeing those pics of you holding it as I can totally grasp it's size. Definitely a beauty you have there!

Keith Hillson May 03, 2005 07:20 AM

Thanks Sean. I wonder how big he would be if I had power fed him ?!?!
