Re: Kings of the forum!

Lavender albino Cali king? A coworker was telling me he got a baby one for his young daughter, that's a beautiful snake.

Re: Kings of the forum!

I believe that she's a traditional T- albino California king. We looked at lavenders but my daughter informed me that we were shopping for a princess snake and that required pink, thus disqualifying the darker red-eyed morph.

My daughter got Princess Snake as a hatchling. She fed her, put up with the snappyness, etc. She definitely wasn't a fan of musking, though. It took me a moment to catch on but my daughter would use a hook to get the snake out and immediately hand her off to me. I'd get musked on and she'd take her snake back while I cleaned up...

Re: Kings of the forum!

She was somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 y/o. I'm in for a world of trouble in a couple years... but luckily, for now, the only trouble she's trying to get in is finding a male kingsnake to pair with Princess. That and a lavender retic but that isn't happening any time soon.

Re: Kings of the forum!

I haven't seen the lavender albino in person, but the cell phone pics looked similar to yours.
Just convince her to settle for a lavender albino "prince" to pair with her female...
Where are the pics of your snakes?

Re: Kings of the forum!

It is my understanding that breeding an albino with a hypermelanistic or chocolate may produce an all-white king so if she gets a male then I'm going to push her in that direction... because I like solid colored snakes.

As far as pic locations, I think that the answer is either a)on a homemade picture perch in my front yard or b)hosted on photobucket.

UPDATE: Here is Luther 1 year after being born. He is now about 3 feet long. My wife actually asked if she could hold him. This is the first time in 22 years of being married that she has done this. Wow!.

Re: Kings of the forum!

What species would be good for disposing of deformed or dead snakes? Apparently the thayeri kings aren't particularly inclined to eat other snakes, so I'm looking to find one that will.

Re: Kings of the forum!

Eir has grown so much recently. Her growth has been really slow the past couple months and then suddenly picked up again. She gained 11g in 10 days! [As opposed to 11g in a month] I had this little thought in my head that I wanted her to get close to 80g by her first 'birthday'. I'm calling her birthday some day at the end of July since it's in the middle of the 1-2 month time frame I was given. Since she didn't really start to grow until she warmed up in January, I'm pretty proud of her. Here are some comparison pictures. Two of them are from September, when I got her, to yesterday. The one with the scale in it is Xmas time to yesterday. Look at that fatty! I might have to start add another day between feedings now.
