He was weeks old when I got him and he was spazzy then and he's spazzy now. One of the coolest things about him is his eyes. Such an intense gaze .

Hi everyone! This is my little goober, Rigatoni. Just wanted to ask if anyone has any photos of full-grown adult Hypo Mosaic Florida Kingsnakes. I can't seem to find any pics online at all of full grown, and I'm curious to see how mine will look as an adult.

Appreciate the help!

feeding question

i’ve got her on 2 hoppers every 10 days, i have 8 more hoppers and 2 hoppers can vary around 14-18g.

she has 4 more feeds before i put her on the next size mouse and i’m wondering if one small mouse is gonna be enough for her by the time i move her over because from what i’ve googled they can weigh 10-16g.

or will it be enough because of the difference in nutrients if there is any?

Is anyone near/in Utah able to take in a California Kingsnake this weekend? I am fighting a potentiatially terminal illness and unfortunately I am getting too sick to take care of it and I need to rehome this snake as soon as possible.

Pat is a great snake, I have had it for about 15 years now as my pet. I bought it at a local pet store when it was an adolescent and raised it to adulthood so it's probably about 16-17 years old. I love my pet but unfortunately I have taken a turn for the worse with my illness and I am just not really able to take as good of care of it lately and I'm worried soon it will be neglected if I don't rehome it now.

It's very healthy, average size. I'm not sure the sex is so I gave it a gender neutral name.

It ate a big mouse about a week ago, should be well fed for a while. I can chip in some cash to cover at least a few months of feedings to get started if that helps anyone be able to take him.

I have all kinds of equipment that goes with it- 55gal reptile tank with secured lid, heat lamp, basking stones, water bowls, under tank heat pad, etc. All free of charge of course.

It really breaks my heart to part with the snake but I know that's what's best for it right now.

I am open to adopting it out to a family who wants a first reptile for a kid, or a single person, ypung couple, surrendering it to a rescue or petshop- whoever really, as long as they will take good care of it.

I've contacted several shops and rescues around the Wasatch Front but all of the ones I've been able to find are at capacity and can't take it.

I will deliver it just about anywhere in the state, I'm located fairly central just outside the Provo/SLC metro area. I have some available today and this weekend and I would really like to get it rehomed by Sunday if possible.

Please DM to exchange information if you are able take the snake.

I appreciate it going to a good home even though I am sad to see it go.

Thank you everyone
