I may be shying away from kingsnakes - Maybe some of ya'll can keep me going?
A few years ago, I had an albino california kingsnake that was about 4 feet. Everytime I handled it, it tried to eat me. It was never defensive, just hungry for my meat. A few weeks ago, I got another california kingsnake, this time black and white banded. It is about 3 feet and it displays the same behavior. It's not a shy snake, it's always out and about in it's cage day and night. Whenever I get near it, it goes for me like I am food. I've tried handling it a few times but there was never a handling session where it didn't try to swallow one of my fingers. Are all kingsnakes like this? I'm beginning to feel that kingsnakes just want to eat everything that moves. They are beautiful snakes, which is what attracted me to them in the first place, however the experiences I am having with them may stop me from getting more in my collection.
