Again, more or less by coincidence we ended up with another snake. This one is a normal Durango Mountain King Snake, male, about 5 years old, and from the same breeder we got our first king snake from. Like the first, it is a male that he no longer breeds.

I haven't measured the little guy yet, but for a fully grown king snake he is tiny, smaller than one of my corns. His disposition is amazing mellow and curious, exploring actively when you handle him.

While rearranging his new home I realized his feeding response is well-developed, too. He bit, held on for 20 seconds, and released as I was on my was to the kitchen sink to convince him to let go Then was just again a pleasure to handle. Now he has a mouse f/t thawing, so let's see how he does.

I promise that pictures will follow soon.
