I've got 2 mexi black kings, 1 female, 1 male.
Both are 22g in weight, the female is 17inchs & the male 16.2inchs long. are their weights okay for their lengths, are should i up there feeding, there on 2pinkies every 5days at the moment, thinking or going to 3, what do you lot think?
Also can you give me an estimate of age? i thought they could be around 8months but i don't really know these things.
Also just want to say i been bit for the first time today, the male actuli drew blood, only a little tho, when he was latched onto the webbing of my finger i noticed his eyes are very pale & kinda blue, so its my own fault for not seeing he was going into shed before i got him out, its also feeding day too  . Silly me. |

| I would say judging from that description compared with my Mexi that you are probably right in your estimate, i would say 7-8 months... |

| They have been fed twice on 2 pinkies and there wasnt much lump, but i just got a new bunch of pinkies in today and it has large & small pinks in it, so i've given them a large & a small one and theres a more noticable lump there now. I got 3 fuzzies at the pet shop the other day just so i can see how big they are so i can see when they are ready to eat them like, but i was just worried if they were under fed or anything. |
