    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi all,

This is my first king. I got her last year. She descends from some wild caught Edisto Island stock. She's a possible het for mosaic from what I've been told. So we'll see what happens. Either way she has become a wonderful pet, and started a new chapter in my herp keeping.

One question though...how hard will it be to find a mosaic male (prefer edisto isl. locale) to pair her up with? I never see them offered for sale. What gives?

I'll post some pics of my newer snakes as soon as I get some decent ones :)

Cheers,
Jason
 
Mosaics

There are a few guys breeding this line. One thing is the Mosaic trait isnt recessive so your animal isnt a het. You stand a better chance of producing Mosaics using Edisto animals so you are half way there. Ive included links of an article on Edisto Eastern Kings from the guy who started the line Kevin Enge. Also a link to a website on Eastern Kings.
