Re: Kings of the forum!
I swear, Leo is the least photogenic reptile in the world:
He won't hold still for very long. Always has to be cruising. He shed about three days ago for the second time since I've had him in the above two.
This last one is from a few weeks ago, one of the few times I got him to hold still. Right now he's eating two hoppers every 7-9 days, but I think he's slowing down with the change in the seasons. I am not confident yet that he can take a small mouse though, but I plan to order one or two from the feeder breeder next month just to see what happens.

Beautiful King! He looks like he could handle a small mouse easily. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Kings of the forum!
I agree with Steve, he could definitely take down a small mouse. Don't let his size fool you, snakes can really stretch pretty far.
Beautiful king though, thanks for sharing the pics!

Re: Kings of the forum!
Very nice king Jackins. I agree with Steve and Kyle, Leo could easily smash a small mouse or two

Love, Love, love the Thayeri's. I named mine slash. Looks like a bunch of razor slashes on her back.

Re: Kings of the forum!
The photograph woes bring to mind this post currently floating around the reptile corner of tumblr: Frost Atronach • farsnakes: Ain?t no party like a kingsnake...
The exception is my MBK in blue, when he curls into a sad lump in my hand and won't move. This is, naturally, how he tends to be whenever I have guests to show him off to.

Re: Kings of the forum!
Slash is gorgeous; love seeing more Thayeri kings out and about.
Will definitely look into the small mice for Leo on the next food order. Hopefully all goes well.

Re: Kings of the forum!
Is this the King Snake thread? Thought I'd pop in and say hello. I got my King Snake on 9/30, so I've had him about a week and a half. I named him King Tucker and I just love him! He went on a hunger strike, though. I tried feeding him three times...first time was on the day he got here, since some people said they have success feeding Kings on their first day. I tried and he wouldn't take it. Tried feeding him again that weekend, and he refused. Tried feeding him AGAIN today, and he finally took his first pinky mouse!!
I have read people feed their snakes 10-15% of their body weight. I weighed him after his feeding and he was at 14 grams, so he's probably about 11.5-12 grams before feeding since I weighed four pinky mice in their plastic bags and they were at 2.5 grams each. Is he getting too much food? Not enough? That's my biggest concern right now!! Ahhh I worry so much.
This picture shows his size relative to a pinky mouse
And here's a picture of him that I took in my mini-studio. I love his grey eyes. I just in general love him

Re: Kings of the forum!
He's awesome AP. Your king will take single pinks for now but you can offer seconds in a few weeks
