King Diamond freshly shed

I wish I had a 'before' picture of this guy, he was so dark pre-shed I could hardly tell there was any red on him. Here he is just after shedding, I couldn't resist posting a couple of shots.

lol. I am not up on kings either. Seems not many people are...He was labeled as a grey band king at the place I got him, and that's what I thought he was at first, but it turns out he is actually a Durango Mtn. King (Lampropeltis mexicana greeri)
My only beef is that he won't go for the f/t mice, only live mice!
 
Hi Jen, can't wait until Sat!!??? Anyway didn't you post a picture of King when you first got him? He is a beauty. susan
 
Yes... He just looked so good after shedding that I had to post another one. And this time he's not in a Deli cup, I think these pics show his true size and colors way better :)
@ Sat, I am still waiting for confirmation about my table. Can't wait... Every single snake I want to sell seems to be going into shed though lol.

Nice looking snake. Do you even need a heat pad for those kings?
These are high elevation snakes found at 7000 feet, their natural environment has some extremes of heat and cold but it's probably cooler than where you would find corns. He does have a heat pad, but he hangs out on that side of his cage very little. He likes the water bowl a lot.
I have had most of my heat pads off lately because it's been hot anyway, high 80s - 90s this week are a nice change from the last couple of weeks before when it got to 104 - 105 every day and night time lows in the high 70s. Going outside in the afternoon some days feels like entering a furnace or preheated oven. The one good thing about the summer scorchers we get here is that it's a dry heat.
