Mexican Black King Snake - sub-adult
Lampropeltis g. nigrita

The Mexican Black King Snake is a sub-adult reptile native to North America. It is a beautiful snake with black scales that have a blueish tint. It is an excellent pet for experienced reptile owners because it is docile and easy to care for. Mexican Black King Snakes are semi-arboreal, meaning they spend part of their time in trees, so they need a tall enclosure with plenty of branches for climbing. They are carnivores and eat small mammals, birds, and lizards. In the wild, they can grow up to 6 feet long, but in captivity, they usually only grow to be 4-5 feet long.

If you're looking for a beautiful and unique snake to add to your reptile collection, the Mexican Black King Snake is a perfect choice! With its glossy black scales and blueish tint, it's sure to stand out from the rest. And because it's semi-arboreal, it needs a taller enclosure than most snakes, which makes it even more interesting to watch. Despite its striking appearance, the Mexican Black King Snake is very docile and easy to care for, making it an excellent pet for experienced reptile owners.
