Re: Joined the King snake club!!
Cool Kings man, welcome to the club I really think Kings are my favorite kind of snake.
I have mine on a mixture of black aspen and cypress. I also added the cypress because of winter dryness. He seems to like it. My first king wasn't a very great climber, he had no grip on things and would slide off. This one I've gotten him a vine and some other stuff he can climb on and he seems to enjoy it AND is much better than my last when it comes to grabbing a hold of something.
The rattle is great! Never had mine do that although the kid who gave him to me said he does when he eats.

Re: Joined the King snake club!!
Mine rattles as soon as you touch the latch on his viv. Just for a frw seconds. He will then rush the door looking for food but when he sees its just me backs off. He has actually missed prey I offered him and shot right out onto the floor. Gotta love a kings feeding responce!!! I haven't heard of anyone posting " my king won't eat"

Re: Joined the King snake club!!
OH man yes!! I fed mine on Sunday, he missed last week's feed due to being in shed.
Sunday I dangle his pinkie in front of his little burrow hole and he shot out of it like a rocket and chased it across his tank to the otherside. I bet I could hold it in the air and he'd jump for it like a dog!

Re: Joined the King snake club!!
Thanks Terranaut. Its very dry here in Colorado and I am running a humidifier for the colubrids and thought the cypress would be a nice upgrade.

The only issue I ever had with a king eating is when I tried to feed my old king a rat pink. He went freakin' ballistic in his cage until I took it out. I thought he was going to bite me he was so worked up but he allowed me to get him out and get the rat out and clean his cage of the rat's scent. Later, I threw a mouse in and he was a happy camper lol
I fed my new king the other day. She caught her food before it had time to hit the bottom of her tub  lol

Re: Joined the King snake club!!
Hey Kiljosh, don't you get mold issues with the aspen? If my corns spill there water there aspen molds really fast. Well gets kinda black maybe that's why you don't see it? Does it smell funny?
The girl actually didn't eat when we got her home, The breeder says she is a shy eater and will make it disappear from a dish if you leave her alone but that didn't happen. Maybe it was new snake stress. We will see how her apatite is in a week.
