Wow, some gorgeous pairs! I can't wait to see the hoggies.. I'm hoping to get my hands on a few this year!

[Jim Smith]

What a great looking collection of snakes. I looked them over several times trying to decide which ones I liked the best and they are all so beautiful, that I can't decide. I look forward to seeing the beautiful babies you hatch out later this year. Thanks for sharing.

[alessia55]

Can't wait to see which breedings take and what hatches later on... :yes:

[sharthun]

As others have said, awesome looking pairs! Can't wait to see the offspring!:cool:

Thanks everyone. I will continue to keep everyone updated on my projects. I have a few more pairings set for this weekend. Even though I have downsized this year, I am going to make the best of it.

Is there a difference between the NC stock and the NJ stock of eastern kings? I rarely ever see northern species in captivity but in the wild I have seen many that are almost solid black. Just curious.

[sharthun]

Beautiful! Awesome news!

[ssshane]

Is there a difference between the NC stock and the NJ stock of eastern kings? I rarely ever see northern species in captivity but in the wild I have seen many that are almost solid black. Just curious.

Yes, the NC Easterns are the best! Just kidding. The patterns vary. Some locales have white chains, some yellow, and some have cream. Some locales have very thin chains while others have very wide chains.

[Jackins]

Excellent news! Definitely watching for more.

[ssshane]

Here is most of the NC Eastern King clutch, still 4 heads poking out of their eggs.
