A couple nights ago when I drove up to my house I found a snake making its way up my drive way. The next day I showed it to my buddy who identified it as a king snake, originally I was going to let the little guy go, and I still might. But I have grown somewhat attached to it in our short time together. I just have some questions about it. I'm including some pictures to make sure I got a proper identification. (if the pics dont show up hit refresh a couple times, the server they are on is tricky)
Don’t let the pictures fool you. It is really only around 12" long and a bout the width of a standard pencil.
My questions are:
What can I feed it? Someone suggested Earth worms or tadpoles. But since I don’t have access to that I was thinking crickets or gold fish. Would earth worms from a fishing supply place work??
If I keep it for a wile will it become too domesticated to release it in the wild when it is grown and has fewer predators?
