Recently went to my first show (So much fun ) and I was able to handle and ask about what the vendor called a Texas black kingsnake. Some googling and research has lead me to believe that it was actually a Mexican black, and I was wondering what kind of experience people here had with them. It's the first colubrid I've ever really had an interest in besides mandarin rat snakes (considerably cheaper too xD ) and I think I'll be picking one up at the local Seattle show in March.

Thoughts?
