Kerry King, python breeder and guitarist for the legendary thrash metal band Slayer, will stop by our chat room over the holidays while he is on a tour break and talk with kingsnake.com users about keeping and breeding carpet pythons. After a summer touring Europe with Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, Kerry is finally back home and has time to work with and talk about his snakes.

An old-school reptile keeper who learned his craft from masters like Lloyd Lemke and the west coast reptile mafia of the 70s and 80s, Kerry has been a longtime kingsnake.com user and has participated in a number of special events on the site over the years. Kerry usually posts to our classifieds under his Psychotic Exotics brand when he has stock available, and even has a few posted right now.

Kerry is checking his schedule to try to squeeze in a chat with our users (hopefully before Christmas), so get your questions ready. Watch this space for firm details on a time and date, but if you can't wait that long to get your Slayer on, check out these chat transcripts and interviews from our archives:
