About the book stating the average size of Mex blks, alot of it is probably based on wild populations. There may be a higher incidence of finding younger kings than the more experienced and shy-er "seniors".

That could be, since he says they're little known, but another one of his books "Kingsnakes: Captive care and breeding" (pub. 1995) which is geared more to the private keeping of them, he still lists them at 24"-36", and states they are "popular in private collections". Maybe he just copied some of the info from his earlier book to the newer one without updating?
