Flighty Albino Prairie King snake
I recently adopted an Albino Prairie King snake that belonged to a local Science teacher and he kept it in the classroom. The snake is a sweetheart but very flighty! I handle him daily. I'm hoping with time he will chill out. Any advice? btw he is about 25 inches long and feeding on small to medium mice. TIA!

Re: Flighty Albino Prairie King snake
With age, patience, and persistence he will become more calm when out.
He probably just gets a little stressed when he out. Make sure his enclosure has a lot of cover and places to hide.
Good luck. =]

Re: Flighty Albino Prairie King snake
Very nice snake. Glad he's getting settled in. It's funny, the more I see all these beautiful snakes, the more I want more snakes. They're more addictive than tattoos : )

Re: Flighty Albino Prairie King snake
If that half-log is his main hide, he may calm down quicker with a darker tighter fitting hide. The more secure a snake feels in its home, the quicker it will settle down.

I had the same thought and added a second small hide. He used it right away! Thanks!
