Very beautiful! I especially love Napoleon- I just don't think anything, even albino, beats the gorgeous normal coloration.
I had Choco out last night, outside, wish I'd gotten the camera. Sometimes I say he looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but last night, 6PM, his yellow had such I strong green cast I couldn't believe it. I looked up at the sky to see if it was green tornado weather, but no. I sked a friend who was over if Chox looked greenish, and he said yes. Should have taken a picture!
Kings are the best.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I chose Napoleon because of his aberrant pattern. I'm a sucker for aberrant patterns, hence my love for zigzag corns. I just have to keep remembering now to handle him before I handle anything else...snake or rodent. He has such a strong feeding response that he'll bite anything that remotely smells like food. Last time I weighed him, he had bitten the snake bag and had it in tight coils, from the inside, within a fraction of a second of my placing him in it. I had a heck of a time extracting him from that situation (he was starting to swallow the bag) and ended up having to also extract him from my hand, which he grabbed as soon as I pried him off the bag (I smelled like snake as well...from just my picking him up). He's even been known to bite himself. I hope he outgrows this as I'll be afraid to put him with Antionette when they're old enough to breed. I even fear to find some morning that he's swallowed himself over-night. He never used to be this way, but he's had a tremendous growth spurt these past few months, going from 100 grams to 225 grams in 3 months. At least I know where to put all the slugs this season!

Gotta love that kignsnake feeding response. My floridana gained 40 grams in the past 2 months...she will eat as much and as often as I feed her. She is usually the last one to get fed, because if anyone else refuses, she gets it...and eats it.
About 3 weeks ago, I had fed her a fuzzy, as well as giving a fuzzy to Sammi Snake, my corn. Well...Sammi Snake was just starting to go blue, and she refused. Soleil, the floridana, ate her fuzzy really quickly, so I thought I would try feeding her the one Sammi Snake refused. Only after she wolfed it down did I get nervous that it may have been too much, too fast. But she digested no problem...I didn't see her for 4 days...but she digested it.
