Im just sat in my garden while the suns out and have the mexi with me and he looks amazing in the sun showing all his true colours of the rainbow and wondering why alot of people dont like mexi's because their "just black".I also visited a rep shop i dont usally go to and asked if he had any and he relied "what kings,no i dont get them because no one wants them" I think they should have their name change to rainbow black kings |

We must be a dying breed Lee. Shall we start a petition to save the Mexi blacks?
We could ask Joanna Lumley to front it  |

Surely one of the attractive things about them is that they are not that common??? I've no doubt that they make fantastic pets but would you really want one if everyone in the world had one??

| To be honest, the best thing about them is you can pretend they are black mamba's to un-snakey people |

thats a good point,im glad that not many people have them,it's just that people think there plain but when you see one up close there so colourful and yes i would still want one even if every one else had one but would'nt be so proud about it.

My OH hates him,she says he looks pure evil and wont even touch him and she's the only reason i have not got another yet,but if it was a royal she up for getting them with no argument,i will break her down now he's getting more friendly or i will just give the cash eqivelent to what another mexi would cost |

Wot? People don't like Kings? Madness. I love my Corns and Royal but the Kings have much more character, the're great. If ever I got another snake it would be a King (but I am not allowed any more right now apparently!!).
We have had the Estate Agents round this week as we are selling up, and one of them essentially called me a freak for having snakes. Needless to say we will NOT be appointing her to sell. Grrrrrrr. |

| The evil look is what first attracted me to this breed in the first place. I knew I wanted a snake and after much research I came across the MBK and fell in love with them. I think its a case of you either love them or hate them. I think Snoop is the most stunning snake I've seen. "ALL HAIL THE MEXICAN BLACK KING" |
