Thanks everyone...
And yes these are mine.
I wouldn't post pics of anyone else's snkes.....lol
I got them from my buddy Tom Stevens in Texas.
They will be paired up next year for the first time.

They are very similar to splendida in size.
They can reach 5 feet plus.

I love these guys. Never seen a snake eat so fast. Voracious and generally docile.

This is no insult to anyone as I said I like them, but I still love what the first name I ever heard of them as..."Poor man's Indigo".

Stunning. Love the full black body, very sleek. Parts of the body in the first photo look brown, is it just the lighting?

Many are very dark brown......especially those that have some remnant desert king pattern. Solid colored ones are very rare in the wild. In captivity they have been line bred to produce more solid colored/patternless snakes.

Many believe MBKs are just melanistic splendida, but Burbrink et al lumped them with californiae, which many of us think is absurd!
