Large FEMALE Lampropeltis????

crimsonking Dec 16, 2005 07:54 PM

O.K. I have shown some of my snakes before, ad nauseum for some I'm sure,and have seen other's big kings but I bet that most of the really large ones were male.
Anyone want to share pics of your BIG girls??
Maybe some of the particulars like age, weight, etc.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,

She'll eat anything you put in front of her at any time, including, but certainly not limited to medium rats. She is a garbage can that will eat all of the king and python leftovers, from fuzzy mice up to rats that intimidate adult ball pythons...as my buddy Keith will find out in the spring (LOL).

Here's my biggest (female) in the collection: A 53"-55" female. Remember her Keith? I got her from you. She will be paired up with my giant rat pounder from South GA.

Sweet ! You know I want a pair of those when they hatch out. That female has a nice sized noggin' as well maybe you can line breed for "hammerheads" or sumthin' lol. I got that female from Thomas Davis and he said she is pretty rough on the males but that WC boy looks like he can hold his own. Have you heard from John Hays at all ?

Thanks, Keith. As a matter of fact, now that you mentioned it - No, I havn't heard of the Botanist in a looong time. I may have to call him up real soon (that's if his phone number is still good). Talk to you soon man! (And yes, I'll keep a pair for ya)
