    Once you go black...
    You know the rest. ;) How can anyone not love a jet black snake?

    Connie and I were down in Lansing over the weekend to meet up with Austin (ThyTempest) and his girlfriend (hope I wasn't too scary, I was a little grumpy from having to be up for work at 5:30 am). We stopped at the Lansing reptile show while we were there. Had to be the smallest show I've been to yet, only a few tables -- like 4 or 5 vendors. I can totally understand why they're discontinuing it. I really don't see the show even covering the rental expense of the room it was in. So, to make it worth the $5 admission I picked up one of these Mexican Black Kingsnakes from Collison Zoo that I keep seeing at just about every show we've gone to in the past year.

    Not the MBK, but she's still black -- so a random feeding shot of Jade!

    Right now she's just in a little Critter Keeper cage on paper towel with a hide and water dish. Being that it's the middle of summer here and the days are mid 80's I haven't bothered setting up any hot spots for her. She's just hanging out on the bookshelf in the living room until quarantine is over and I can set up a nice display cage for her. Cause really, for a snake that nice looking, you just GOTTA show it off -- right? ;)

    Oh most definitely. MUST show off a beauty like that. :) We're thinking of leaving Ari's MBK, "Darth", in the living room and using a 12qt tub to start with then moving up until he's ready for the 20long display tank. :D

    And yes, Jade is a ham...but a very pretty one. Nice eyes.

    WOW. If you don't mind me asking, how much was this diamond of a snake? And do you know how difficult they'd be to get? If/WHEN I get a third snake, I'd really want it to be a mexican black king... breathtaking, really. :happycry: Hows it doing?

    I've always seen them priced at $65 at the shows around Michigan. Never really did manage to find any on kingsnake when I was looking. She's doing fine so far, but I've only had her for a couple days so far. We'll see if she'll take an ASF pink in a day or two and go from there.
