Saw these advertised and did have to think twice but pulled the trigger anyway. Male and female Northern Arizona mountain kingsnakes. Thanks to Gerold Merker.

Nice catch ;)

Thanks JB, got them quarantined now but I will get some closeup pics soon. They really are pretty cool and took a meal the day after I set them up.

Thanks JB, ... took a meal the day after I set them up.
And THAT makes them even more attractive! :D

About how long is quarantine needed/recomended for snakes?
In the sugar glider world, we usually do 30 days, but it's backed up with a fecal test.

Previously I would do 30 days. The standard with ball pythons is 90 days. Fecals pretty much only if the animal is symptomatic or you are suspicious of something. Overall 90 days is pretty much the standard with most snake species actually.

Beautiful pyros AL! Very nice additions sir.

Thanks EL! Can't wait for these two to put on some size. Lol. Always had a passion for kings in general but pyros are my first love in Lampropeltis.

They're nice Albert. Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you SW! I will. It's just that I have had hard luck with L.p.pyros historically. I will be careful with them.

Thank you Dave!

Thanks mac! I truly will be careful with these two. They are so inquisitive but calm like most L.p.pyros.

Very nice! Congrats on your new additions :D

Thanks Tsu! I am really excited about getting these two and getting into a breeding project with some hypo pyros and albino pyros down the line.

2016 Female Arizona kingsnake. Crazy how when they turn as they crawl it can make you dizzy looking at their patterns. Haha.
