I've been researching common king snakes for the care sheet and it says that adult Mexican Black Kingsnakes average at 3.5 ft.

Nagini is 5ft now and I think she's still growing!

Hope it's just a typing error in the book though. 3.5ft seems really short for a king

Sounds a bit short to me. I was under the impression that some kings can reach 5ft

1.1.0 Arizona mountain king (Sylar and Claire)
0.1.0 Blotched king ( Jasmin)
1.1.0 Guyana red-tail boa (Hercules and Athena)
1.0.1 children (Alfie and BUMP)

Well she's part of the common kingsnake gang and they are supposed to be the largest type of king. most can grow up to 6ft.

Think the book got it wrong, might have to google it

I think your right SN- I think she's not going to grow much bigger.

Saying that though- I just called her a she, but someone at the York rep night thinks she's probably a HE!

Might have to change my whole terminology for her

Save yourself some money and ask your local rep shop first. If you have a nice, helpful owner and you're a regular they will usually probe your snakes for you for free
