    Got a new king.... *pics*
    The reptile store said it was a lavender albino... however I was just informed they are either lavender or albino..

    So which is my new little snake?
    (I don't care either way because I'm in love!!!)

    No musking yet... But I "look forward to it" ;)

    Pics are in a huge tank on paper towels :) So ignore that!

    It strikes when you first pick it up, but after it realizes you are bothering it, its totally cool. Has nto been handled much at all. Hasn't musked me yet though LOL

    Yea, the one in Englewood!
    I wasn't very satisfied out there 2day tho...
    I went out there yesterday and they let me hold all the snakes I wanted to, answered some questions about that little King.. SUPER helpful. And I didn't even buy anything...
    I went in today and spent $150 between the snake and just a ton of other stuff I wanted to get.. and it felt like they wanted to shove me out the door as fast as possible. :blahblah:
    So who knows.

    And thank you :D

    Oh, that all depends on who is working there at the time. :D Some of them don't like helping or interacting much, while others live for it.

    I've been to the south store once...but my main store is the north! :D

    That is a pretty little snake, and I hope you have tons of fun with them!

    Wow, she's very pretty! I'm not usually into lav-albinos, but especially in the last pic you can really see her pattern; it's gorgeous.

    It's a nice aberrant normal albino.

    Raul, WestCoastJungle has some pics of a lavendar. I tried the search but couldn't make it work.

    They're nice snakes either way.

    Wes, don't lavendars have dark eyes, and normal albinos have red eyes?

    Raul's is also a much deeper burgundy coloration to his.

    Here's Raul's two threads on Malibu (Wes, I went advanced and just searched on all threads started by West Coast Jungles in the Kingsnake forum).

    Yup, mostly.

    They do have deep ruby-red eyes but the background colour can vary a bit, sometimes being so dark a purple it's almost brown and others more a lilac.

    Cool snakes no matter the colour though.

    Very nice but as I mentioned in your previous post, many people sell regular albino as Lavender and it is one of those times...........sorry.

    If you are looking for Lavender I would recommend BHB, this is where I got both of mine from.

    Nope after I saw the true lavendder, I prefer my little albino guy.

    Like I said I didn't care what it was I was in love and needed it anyways LOL

    Thanks :)

    Some better pics, and my hand with him so you can see his size.. He is 2ft long.. I didn't want to take him out and pester him too much because today is day #2 at home :D But no strikes or anything so far - good little snakie!

    He loves his Tokyo Joe's hide LMFAO and burrowing is cool too ;)

    Oooooo, nice. Balls are great, but Colubrids are always nice to see as well.
