The female A. Cal.King was about 3 1/2 feet. We had Corn snakes (they laid eggs yearly and the babies were so cute) also. The best herp-rept. we had was a Beardie. He was so personable and easy to train.

I have a 30" wc glossy snake (we will end up letting him go again though). He eats two live hoppers every week. We had another one but since he didn't like mice we let him go within a week. These guys are really nice but only 50% on getting them to eat rodents. We found a beautiful baby 50/50 kingsnake in the house last year but unfortunately it was under a piece of cardboard on the way to bathroom= squished

Adrea, Have you tried giving him alizard ? Some (alot) of snakes find Anoles or lizards in the wild and are used to eating them. Where do you live? and what is a glossy snake?
Since I caught them if they don't want mice I let them go again. I'm in the high desert in California (Mojave) about a 30 minute drive away from joshua tree national park. I've been lucky to have not found any rattlers in the house.

Here's a pic of the one I have. I have better pics of the other one because we'd just fed this guy when I was taking pics. If any one is interested I'll gladly post them.
We found him and the one we let go again in the middle of a dirt road.

These are what I currently have...
4 malaysian blood pythons, 9 ball pythons ( one being a lemon pastel), 2 honduran milk snakes, 2 columbian boas (a pastel male and a monster tail hypo female... they produce amazing looking babies), 2 brazilian rainbow boas, a baby grey-banded kingsnake, a yellow anaconda, 2 burmese pythons (both "green" phase), and 2 reticulated pythons (a white albino and a lavender albino).
I should probably mention that snakes are just as important in my life as my fish are.

Most of mine are for sale (all of them except the bloods and the pastel ball).
I'm moving soon, and I've got to cut down on the reptiles so the baby can have his own room.

I've had four breeding pairs for about two years now, I just purchased the pastel male a few months ago when I got my tax returns. The pastel will be big enough to breed in two years, and I'm going to hopefully get him to mate with two different females that year. The pastel is a co-dominant trait, meaning when I breed it to normal females about half of the offspring will still be pastels. I paid $2,500 for the pastel, mostly as an investment.
But, all in all, I just love ball pythons. They are extremely easy to care for, easy to breed, and they're friendly.
