King Snake

This is one of the most healthy and active king snakes we've had for a long time! If you've ever heard the stereotype that king snakes have a strong feeding response, this one lives up to it! Whenever we are feeding f/t mice, he comes right up to the edge of the cage, and at the first opportunity, he lunges at the tongs and fully constricts the f/t mouse like it's an olympic sport! He is a great reptile, especially if you are experienced with king snakes or other food-aggressive reptiles. I would expect him to be a little bitey without regular handling, so I don't recommend him as a beginner snake. I'd recommend handling him with gloves for a while until you are familiar with his feeding signals and responses to handling. I usually expect him to settle down and relax with regular handling. But when he's first taken from the cage, he definitely acts like your hand could be food.<p><br/><br/><b>If you are interested in adopting this reptile, please submit an online application at <a href="http://www.forgottenfriend.org/apply" target="_blank">www.forgottenfriend.org/apply</a>.<br/><p><br/><b>Please understand:</b><p><br/>1.
