Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Adult King growth
With the demise of all functionality over at the forums at KS, I look forward to more traffic here!! I've got a question for those who have older kings. My Eastern girl is seven years old now, and I'm curious how much growth people have gotten from their snakes after this age. She was fairly small her first few years but has put on a lot of size in the last year now that I have been feeding her a lot more. She probably grew 6" in the last year and near 30-40% more mass. She's a bit over 4 feet and very solid, about three pounds. Any guestimates as to when/if she'll get to 5 feet?

I notice mine just tend to grow more in girth and just a little bit in length, like you posted. Although I do have a friend with a 10-12 year old Yuma Kingsnake that continued to grow longer and longer as it got older reaching about 6 ft in lenght. Maybe it depends on the subspecies.
Happy Herping,

Oh about the kingsnake.com I like to use both as resources of information to always improve my knowledge of husbandry. The more information we can have the better and I haven't been at fauna very long, but I do notice kingsnake.com gets more posts. Either way I think the more resources of information we have about our hobby, the better.
Happy herping,

Beautiful snake.
As far as the question, I only have snakes with known ages that were hatched in '01, all my older animals are "age unknown", so I couldn't really share much of my own experiences.
As far as Kingsnake.com versus this forum.... both have their positive and negative attributes.
I like this forum because it is not so busy that it's impossible to keep track, and I like that one because I do know some people who only post over there, and I like to see how they're doing and what their animals are like.
But this is where I like to "hang my hat"

Now that the kingsnake forum at KS has recently been split up into ELEVEN sub-forums, that forum is going to get really dead, unless you have time to navigate through all the needless forums. I will miss the variety and education I got from the old "one" general king forum.
