If I wanted to breed from my snake I know it in the spring or summer but with the colour of her which king snake would be the best to get and how do you know when to put them together as I understand they eat each other if not careful

Definitely agree with that! |

Hi there I bought my first ever snake on the 8th of Nov 2008
It is a Mexican Black King it is 2 and a half foot long and totally
black apart from two white flecks under its chin. It was musking on me up until a couple of days ago. Another King owner told me how to stop it and its worked a treat. I fed it last night on a fuzzy for the first time so I am quite proud of my little achievement lol At the moment it is asleep and probably digesting its feed so I am leaving alone for a couple of days before I handle it again.

Is this a California mountain snake albino because on your care sheet you say average size 2.5 ft but she looks like she 4.5 ft when she laid out in her home it 3ft by 1.5ft and she can go from corner to corner that makes her 4.5ft she seem to stalk me but she eat yesterday that good after only getting her Saturday

Yep, that's an albino California King Snake. Yellow banding (as opposed to white) on a black/ chocolate background (unless albino!) makes her a Coastal Phase. White bands on a black background, like my Cali, are Desert Phase. But there are various other types including abherrants and stripes, snows, blizzards... |

An Albino Cali King if I'm not mistaken. Sure there will be others along with opinions soon  |

Oh she's an adult! In that case feeding every 10-14 days should be adequate.

heya and welcome at 3 years old she's pretty much an adult and ideally should be fed about weekly, give or take a day or so. if she's used to being handled she should be fine after her week of settling in, but i know it's really hard to leave them alone for a whole week! just check she's still there and change her water, keeping contact to a bare minimum.
or course sometimes it doesn't quite work out like that - when i first bought my Dumerils boa i had all good intentions but she tipped her water everywhere within 24 hours and did so on a daily basis until i got her a bigger bowl, so i had to handle her to keep mopping out the RUB, lol |
