Mexican Black kingsnae

Enclosure:

Always house alone

Terrestrial species so height not as important as length and width

Have enrichment and caves on both sides of the enclosure

Adult size tank should be able 40 gallons, juveniles in 20 gallons, and hatchlings in 15 gallons

Adults can also be housed in a 3 x 2 x 2 ft enclosure and 2 x 1 x 1 ft for juveniles

Do not keep them next to a window

Substrates are best to be a mix of soil and sand (also loose) or can be coconut fiber, aspen fibers, or soil

Juveniles can be kept on paper towels and newspapers to monitor their health

Substrate should be about 4 inches deep

Never use pine and cedar shavings for substrate

Spot clean daily, disinfect completely once a month

Temperature should be about 75 degrees F with a basking area of about 85-90 degrees F

Humidity should be between 40-60% (daily misting may be needed)

UVB is not needed, but beneficial 

Enrichment should be low branches, caves, flowers, tubes, dried leaves, fake or live plants, hay, half logs, flower pots, etc.

A water dish should be present and changed every 2 days or whenever dirty. Scrubbed weekly

Diet/feeding habits:

Opportunistic hunters and eaters

They are known to eat other snakes in the wild, including ones bigger than them

Feed them a feeder the size of the thickest part of their body

Hatchlings should be fed every ~5 days (one pinky)

Juveniles should be fed once a week (one fuzzy)

One year old snakes can be fed 2 fuzzies

Adults should be fed every 10-14 days and not during shed (one adult mouse)

They will thrive on a diet of frozen thawed mice and will probably never exceed that

Let them wait a week before feeding them

Age identification:

Maturity is reached at about 3 years of age

They can live up to 25 years, but average is 15-25 years

Physical traits:

Always dark brown to black in coloration including their bellies

They do not have scale patterns and juveniles might have a few spots on their chin that fade away with time

Pretty stocky bodies

They have a bluish iridescent shine

Very resilient to snake venom and are known to eat venomous snakes in the wild

No sexual dimorphism 

Adult size is about 4 feet total, but there are rare cases of some being 6 feet

Hatchlings are 6-8 inches long and tend to double in size every year until maturity is reached

Constrictor family and very strong

Can climb and swim very well

Also very fast

No details of breeding, but they will sometimes naturally brumate during the winter

Personality:

Very tolerable of handling

Diurnal 

Somewhat temperamental as juveniles

Hunting behaviors show they are happy

They like to burrow

They tend to slow down a lot and stay in the same area during the winter while in summer they are very active

Docile and hardy

When in food mode they like to bite fairly hard to prey

If threatened they will shake their tails, flatten their heads/neck, hiss, musk, and bluff strike

Most likely to musk and bluff strike when threatened

Hatchlings are very flighty and may act very defensively 

Hatchlings will start eating and looking for food the second they hatch

Known to be cannibals

During shed they might be a bit more snippy and may refuse food

Health concerns:

MBD- caused by improper diet and lack of nutrients

Mites will be show by the little insects or frequently, but not complete sheds and lack of eating

Prone to obesity 

Dust particles from certain substrates can eye and respiratory issues

Anorexia and auto-cannibalism happens in very stressed snakes, so make sure they are comfortable. They may also bite themselves frequently

Mouth rot is marked by wheezing, foamy mouth, lack of eating, etc.

Respiratory infections are marked by wheezing and are caused by improper humidity and ventilation

Scale rot can be caused by too high humidity

They soak for long periods of time if they are sick

Stuck shed can result in dead tissue

If the enclosure is too small they will rub their noses against the walls repeatedly 

Handling:

They need to be handled from a young age to calm down

Handle them for short periods of time (20 minutes) when young, then increase the time

Hatchlings can be very flighty and nippy, so hold them over soft surfaces and be ready to catch them

Wash hands before and after handling

Handle every day or multiple times a week to build trust

Support the body 

Scoop up gently to avoid stress

Don’t handle 2 days after they eat because they will be stressed and may vomit

So question, why did T-ara have a rotational leader system? Plus why did it stop on Qri? Did they all agree she was the best? I'm surprised that larger sized groups don't have that system. Feels so odd.

The official line from MBK / CCM was that it was a way for each member to "showcase a different style and image" or whatever.

So, given how we know for a fact that they were allowed very little to no freedom in terms of deciding on or making their music it's safe to say it was just a gimmick. Similar to how miss A had no leader I guess.

Like, you can't convince me that Eunjung had them wear those dumb cat gloves during Bo Peep Bo Peep stages or that Boram thought it was a good idea to perform Yayaya on an outside venue in short sleeved tops in the middle of winter!

As much as I adore Qri, I think they gave her the position to have her have a "thing" in the group. We know she's not the strongest vocalist in the world and Jiyeon already had the "visual" position locked down. So that way Jiyeon is the face of the group, Hyomin is the "sexy one", Eunjung is the "tall one", Soyeon is the main vocalist (andtheonewithadifferentfaceeachyear), Boram is the "tiny one" and Qri is the leader.

It could also be the fact that they all had a go at it by the time it was Qri's time and Jiyeon is the maknae so they wouldn't have her be the leader so they just never changed it again. After 2014 when Qri took over they also slowly started phasing Soyeon and Boram out so that leaves Qri as the oldest out of the members they still gave a shit about.

At least that's my interpretation anyway

Since we added more cover in her enclosure she's been much calmer which has made handling her much easier!
