Re: Snakeweed & Ratking

Hey, I saw that someone on this thread bought a snake from Ryan Beatty. I'm looking at a CA king from him. Can anyone tell me how he was to work with, how were his shipping practices, was the animal in good shape, etc. You can send a PM. Thanks.

Read post # 53 I would think twice about that decision!

Maybe someone will share some reputuble king breeders. 3 of us on the forums ordered black milks from Isis reptiles. Highly recommend them. But I don't know if they have any kings available.

to keep things simple, i asked for an all black king snake and i received one with a few spots. is it a big deal? probly not, but i am meticulous with details. having said that, the snake came with a scab on her nose (i was told it was from her trying to escape) and possibly mites. i found a few mites in her tank. take from that what you will. she is doing fine now

Re: Snakeweed & Ratking

Thanks for sharing your experience. I checked some other reviews and I saw far more good than bad, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping things go well for me. This little boy should arrive Tuesday. As long as he's healthy I'll be happy.

Shed training! lol good news though! Mine do well with humid hides on their own. I hardly ever catch them shedding. They wait until i'm gone.
