I actually prefer the milks, they bite me less lol, but the kings do have character.

Thanks, the mexi black is a real clean black, very nice looking snake, unfortunately he is a bit of a musker, but he'll grow out of it lol.

Great looking snakes!! Great examples of each species. I really liked the first one pictured of the milks. What kind of milk was that? And as a king snake fanatic I absolutely loved your albino California king, a desert phase albino if Im not mistaken?

Thank you, the first milk is a snow honduran milk snake, and you are correct, desert phase, very colourful nice looking snake. Hasn't learnt it cant eat me yet though lol.

Lol! Ohhh the joy of taming down nippy youngins! They usually tame down quite nicely but in my experience if a king isn't going to tame down its usually the albinos! I never quite figured out why though.

I don't try that hard really, if i put more work into them i could probably have them all a lot calmer, but they don't freak when i move them for cleaning, and that is what matters to me, my big snakes i work with more to keep them calmer, but i'm not too fussed if i get a bite off a king once in a while lol.

The nicest king i've ever held was an adult albino cali, it was just so laid back, handled more like a ball python then a king, but your right as youngsters they do seem to be a bit more stubborn then others.

Anyone in the UK work with L. triangulum triangulum??

Not many in the USA do, So I'm really curious if any have found their way into UK collections.

They aren't a species i have ever personally kept, i'm sure i was talking to someone who said they were trying to breed them once, but if he actually had them and not something else i am not so sure.

Sweet collection!!

Thank you :)
