That's quite a specimen you've got there. Beautiful patterning. Issit from a particular locale?

Once again, beautiful eastern. Nice to see pics of them. Man you've got me missing my pair now. :)

I am not sure on the locality of this specimen. I am thinking about selling this one as it wont eat which surprises me after hearing about and seeing a king's great feeding response, I have tried P/k Rat and mouse and braining it but it wont eat I am thinking of trying snake scenting or buying a cheap snake and see if it eats that but I really am limited on time lately as I work on getting baby snakes to eat for hobby and have an overload and being ill has not helped and I am used to doing baby snakes but never an adult so I am clueless and frustrated, any ideas?

A snake scented prey may do the trick. Sounds like it could be a WC or long term captive. Might wanna trace its origin if possible. Either way the previous owner may have a clue about how to feed it. It may just be one of those picky snakes who like eating in a hide box or something like that. Or the ones who need the prey dangled in a certain way. Hey it happens!

This snake came from a private breeder and has gone through alot of peoples hands but everyone I ask says that this king will eat anything even road kill but it ont eat a thing for me! So I am going to try snake scenting as I have heard good things about that.

Double check your temps and trying giving it a hide or two if there's none. Might be an husbandry issue.

I raised temps and he ate a mouse even though it is a small meal so things are great he is now up forsale as I am going to focus on my other projects.

LOL I am sorry guys! I adpot/buy animals that dont eat and get them to start eating, It is a job I love plus I have lots of other projects such as my skinks, yes I am a skinkophile! LOL Thanks again for all the comments and I think I might be wanting some kings now, maybe a pair of Brooks/Floridana? I kinda have gotten attached to this guy though he is a beautiful snake.
