Hi I breed knoblochis & they are as easy to take care of as any King or Corn once established on F/T prey. Babies are hard to get started & most don't want to eat for the first 2-3 months after hatching. Once they start there is no going back though. They stay quite small compared to most kings & do better with several smaller prey items rather than larger ones. My adults are usually fed big fuzzies or hoppers, whereas the same size Corn or CK would be eating adults. Mark

Hi!

I agree - once they are fully established on mice pinkies, they are very easy to care for.
They are also beautiful and make excelent pets - very very calm. I have never got bitten by pyro yet

Best regards
