Here's my new addition I received today. An F1 Mexican Black King from John Cherry/Cherryville Farms. This male is huge. He is right in the middle of a shed, but I'll post some udated pics in a few days when he's finished. Thanks for looking.

How long is he (approximately)? Very nice and a great pic! He DOES look like my eastern Indigo in many ways, though I think the head is smaller (my Indigo has a HUGE head). Thanks

I just got him today, but I believe he's around
4 1/2 feet. I believe John Cherry's adult female breeder is around 5 feet. He wasn't kidding when he said this line of nigrita (lemke line) is very large. If you go to the Raleigh show tomorrow, have a good time. Let us know what you pick up.

And have tiny furnishings in the background. It looks bigger
than my 6 ft indigos. Maybe they just don't coil so much to make it look like you're holding more than one snake?

I dunno, but that is an impressive animal. Thanks for sharing the pic!

The truth of the matter is I'm not tall person. I'm around 5'5. This MBK is huge, but he's not as big as your 6 foot indigo. Maybe the picture is making him look larger then he really is. I said he was around 4 1/2 feet, but he could easily be 5 foot. After he sheds, I'll have to stretch him out for a better look. Here is another shot that may give a better indication of size.

Dude you cant tell me thats not a Black Milk X Indigo Hybrid maybe with a dash of Nigrita lol. Seriously what great score. You musta sweet talked Cherry into letting you buy that one. How big would you guess he is ? Looks all of 5' for sure.
