After the small amount of reading I did on the scarlet king snake, it looks like it might be a difficult snake to feed. Looks like it prefers live lizards and may be tough to get one to switch to mice.

True that! hoggies are toad eating machines! I always liked ground snakes as well but don't know if you could find any for sale. I used to find lots of them herping in western Oklahoma years ago. Never tried keeping one.
