To King or not to King?

[Outcast]

that is the question.

Alright, so I was thinking about getting a Kingsnake, What type would you guys recommend and if you can, please post a picture of yours.

I was thinking about getting a hybrid from Mesozoic, but the ones they have in my price range at the moment aren't quite what I was thinking of.... they look too much like a Cali King for me....

 

[ArpeggioAngel]

Grayband, thayeri or mex-mex.
I have all three - beautiful to look at and mellow temperaments on all of them.

Unfortunately I am not allowed to have a Greyband without special permits here in New Mexico, I would be going after those if I could.

 

[starsevol]

Blotched king.
Also known as applachicola.
I have one and she is an absolute doll
Huge, sweet, mellow, and wonderful is my girl Maytag!

(I know, I have posted these pics before, I really need to do a photo shoot with this girl)

I have a theyeri. He is a wonderful little guy. Very calm and doesn't musk me all the time like my cal king. I also have an Az. mtn king that is good too. He isn't as calm as the theyeri, but still a good one.

1) I cannot import venomous snakes into New Mexico, and do not know of anyone who has these...

2) My fiance would murder me.... Literally.

I like your kings that look like that, too . Beautiful!

 

[dogsNdragons]

I vote for Florida Kings or Blotched King. My FL King, Elvis, is such a sweetie.

I had a beautiful Greyband juvie from ArpreggioAngel but he got out and I never found him

I keep looking at them with longing but my BFF would KILL me if I got another snake when I recently promised her not to get any more this year. OK, so she twisted my arm to get me to promise, but still...

 

[Nanci]

Did you promise not to get any "kings," though?

 

[wade]

Get an aberrant Cal King or a MBK. Both great snakes.

 

[wstphal]

No, I promised no new snakes. I think she means no kings, no boas, no BPs, no corns, no NOTHING.
