    My progression thread on Miz Khalifa my female MBK

    Hello everyone just wanted to share my new mexican black kingsnake. She arrived to me at around 10am on Tuesday, April 28th. Got her from bhb-reptiles. This is my third MBK and the youngest I have own. The previous two I got were about 7 months old and a little near a year old when I got them. I kept my first one a little over a year so my oldest MBK is a little over 2 years old now. I really enjoy having these. My oldest mbk is completely jet black and never had any yellows in him when I first got him. My 2nd one I got a few months ago he is almost black but have little shades. This one has more of a yellow to her. She will be completely black as she aged. Reason why I want to do a progression thread and see the changes.
    She is 17 grams so I'm guessing around 3 months old? If someone has a better perspective please let me know! Well here she is.




    Thanks for reading and feel free to share pics of your mbk on here if you like!

    Your MBK's look awesome Jb. How much does your 2 year old weigh? He and SF look to be about the same size.

    In case you guys were wondering why the paper towels were so bloody. It's because I just finish feeding my gartersnake in that tub.


    Finish it pretty fast and looking for a second meal. Sorry you only get 1 for now.


    I gave this one a more challenging meal

    Re: My progression thread on Miz Khalifa my female MBK

    What about SF? What's she's weighing in right now? Before I usually try and feed my picky eaters first (ball pythons hatching or around 6 months of age). Then moved on to other ball pythons that's more aggressive feeder. Then I would feed my mbk last. From what I remember for the past year he only missed 1 or 2 at most meals. Ranging from 5 days to 9 days apart! I had about over a couple dozens of ball python and and 1 mbk.

    My feeding schedule changed now that I have added more colubrids into my collection in the last two months. I try and feed every 4-5 days with these young ones.

    SF turned two last month. She's a little over 600g now. Both my kings will take long/intermittent food breaks over the winter but they eat like monsters during the warmer months. I fed them 10-15% of their body weight every 5 days until they turned 1, now they eat about 10% of their body weight every 6-7 days. They usually eat 2 jumbo mice or 1 jumbo mouse and a chick per feeding.

    Oh wow. Hope I am not underfeeding them. I know males are a lot smaller. I'll find out on my next feeding. Giving the fact Miz is 16 grams then I should do about 1.6-2g of food. Mine is on mice. Yeah they are a little piggy! I'm sure they can eat more then 2-3 food items without hesitation.
