DESCRIPTION Also known as the Chain King. I am working with two localities, Pender County North Carolina and Chesapeake Virginia. Eastern Kings are large, robust, hardy and beautiful serpents. They make great pets. Captive born babies feed well and with handling become quite tame. These snakes are some of my favorites, they were the first snakes that I bred , way back in the mid 1980's. The Chesepeake Virinia area Easterns usually have nice wide bands, nice black dorsal and sometimes have a faint bit of speckling on the sides.
