I've read a lot of info on king and milk snakes, but haven't had much feedback from actual keepers with hands on experience. This summer I'm hoping to get a pair of Mexican Milk snakes, but I also want to get one or two other species sometime next winter or spring. What are your opinions on scarlet kings (L t. elapsoides) for a 'not quite so novice' snake keeper? I've had corns before, but due to a very idiotic insurance problem, I'm limited to snakes around 36 inches or less. This isn't a problem for me, since a lot of the ones I find visually appealing fall into that range. My big thing right now is to research which ones would be suitable for someone with approximately one year snake experience, though I've got over 10 years with geckos and dart frogs so I'm not completely new to the general herp hobby. If you can think of any other king or milk species that might be suitable, preferably with red, orange and/or yellow, let me know. I've got about a year to research and get ready.
Thanks
