Favorite Kingsnake Species?

[3skulls]

Nice looking snakes overall in this thread. This thread rocks.






1. I wanna say is a plain Albino. I believe the lavenders show up darker.
2. Is the snake white in person? I'd say if the snake is more yellowish in person, it's a banana. Unless your white balance is that off?
5. The pic you have higher up I believe is a coastal. I think the browning you are seeing is a product of age. My plain cali is 12+ years and has started to brown more is his black areas. His whites are still white though.



My personal favs(not in and particular order):

-Cali King
-Grey Bands
-Az Mtn King

Thanks!
Yeah the white balance is way off in those pics. It was cell phone photos.

Don't the lavenders have red eyes? Hers are very light pink.

That's a good question about the eyes. Can't say I remember noticing a difference or making the correlation between the 2 eyes looking different. So, I don't know.

I wish I could catch king snakes in my yard, I've been told we have pine snakes in Minnesota but I've never seen one

Actually we have bull snakes which are closely related to pine snakes. Here is a site I like when looking for herps in MN. http://www.herpnet.net

So I really haven't handled my Albino girl for a while.
She is starting to get some size on her now and just shed the other day.

Room lighting


Cloudy natural light




Light pinkish tint and she is getting yellow. Her eyes are a very light pink.

I hope she matches my Chocolate het Albino.

What do you think?

[MarkS]

She looks like a regular albino instead of a lavender albino to me. I've got one very much like that that was sold to me as an albino, not a lavender.

Cool thanks!

Kings are so awesome

Dude, she looks awesome. :gushing a little:

[3skulls]

Thanks
I'm very happy that I picked her up. I wish all snakes had their feeding response.

[Pyrate81]

haha! yeah. Mine would probably try eating a medium rat if I let him. He's a garbage disposal and will eat anytime, any size, day/night, shed/not shed. Last couple times I fed him, he ate 2 mice, shed, ate the 3rd mouse. Wish he was big enough to eat medium rats, then I wouldn't have to hold onto them when my ball feed strikes and the rat snake isn't hungry.

And they take them down so quick :p
