Hooray for eats!!

I talked to the breeder about our little girl checkered King who hasn't eaten yet and he told me to get the smallest LIVE mouse pinkies I can find and offer her one and leave her alone with it. Presto and gone!! Her lump isn't very big and I am considering offering another in a few hours but I don't want her to possibly regurge. What do you all think? Reason I ask is the other live pinky I have probably wont last the night. I could feed it to someone else but two would be awesome for the girl king.

I say try it, if they are small she'll likely take 2 no problem, even though she hasn't eaten in a while. Its not the same but we did this with a rosy boa that escaped before she had her first meal and was gone for a few months. Some how survived and did really well. She had 2 mouse pinks her first meal... I imagine a king snake can do the same. Caylan.S.

I think I'd give it a try. Just remember to give her time to digest. It's been in my experience kings regurge fairly easy, especially with a large meal.

i'd try her with the 2nd pinkie,if she takes i, then that would be great and help put your mind at ease

its great feeling once they've took their first feed for you

great news mate

cheers shaun
