Re: why is my cali king biting me? :(

I would probably say it's a feeding response. Did he latch on or just nip? Latching is a feeding response and usually means he's hungry. Are you feeding just 1 pinky or multiple? if you're just doing 1 and you need to get rid of them, then just feed him multiple. I usually do a weight system so I can always make sure it's the right size, about 10%-15% of the snakes body weight.

I've never seen a king snake become MORE aggresive with the introduction of other snakes. As long as the snake is well fed there's no reason they should want to eat the other snakes.
