Some shots of my two latest King Snake rehomers.
First up is Fester the Mexican Black King (MBK) also known as the notorious Black Thumb Muncher.  It entices the innocent herper with its handsome good looks (the snake not the herper that is) and acts like a big floppy strip of liquorice. Once in striking range it pounces, immobilizes with a deadly wrist restaint, constricts then procedes to eat any available digit. It has been noted that this particular snake has a preference for thumbs but will also happily attempt to take a wrist bone down in a oner. 
Typical ambush innocence pose:
I got the blues but still gotta eat something until the next thumb comes by:
A strange phenomenon, a King Snake being consumed by its own shed:
Oh! Yes! There will be blood:
Next up is Rattler, aka "Rattle and Hum". He's a beautiful Florida King with the adorable habit of drumming his tail between the water dish and tube hide if you look at him sideways. This gives the pleasing audible rhythmic effect of tinkling cymbal and a pneumatic drill. He uses this jungle beat as a countdown to launching himself skywards at a great rate of knots and annointing all and sundry with a generous dose of "Eau d' Regal Musque". 
I managed to get these couple of pics of pre-launch but it was difficult to use the camera while wearing a gas mask and full biological warfare suit. This was necessary due to the fact that I have run out of clean t-shirts. 
Belting out the vibes pre-launch:
I is a handsome chap and this is my good side:
Enjoy! Someone might as well.  |

Thanks Ian but I've yet to see an ugly MBK. 
Hard to believe that Fester was abandoned in a student flat but lucky for me.
He is now in deep blue for the third time since I got him. He should be looking spot on by next week. 
More pics to come in Chapter Two. |

Hilarious! Too bad about the hand though . . . I'd be nervous to get him out if he bit me all the time! Haha |

Fester has seen the error of his ways and has decided to be pals again. It has only taken about 6 weeks to get back on good terms. The blood and tears were worth it tho and I now have a reasonably serviceable pair of gloves for the winter.
