Reptile expo expansion

Yeah, I personally like the eastern L. getula sp over the western subspecies...except maybe the Mexican black (who doesn't like a jet black snake?). They just seem to be more laidback, especially compared to CA kings.

I have handled Mexican King Snakes before. They are gorgeous. Mine must have been lively one, but it was still rather young.

Any getula (common kings) makes a great first snake......Very hardy and bulletproof.....
In my experience corns are harder to get feeding than any getula, but that is a problem for those of us that breed snakes not for those that just keep pet snakes.......

Mexican and Montane kings take a little finess & alot of experience to keep and breed and to get feeding....lol

The only BP I ever had went off feeding for months at a time......That was 17 years ago when there were no mainstream morphs.....I think I got mine for $12 and 3 years later it was a "black back"....LOL
I sold it for $100.......hahahahaha
