Re: new additions

Thanks. I was little worried at first since I've read they can be tricky feeders and little ones will only take lizards at times(which I'm not a fan about feeding). Fortunately in my case these guys were well started and are taking down frozen thawed fuzzies and mice like is no joke.

Re: new additions

super cool. I prefer FT over live mainly because of a bad childhood memory I had. One of my first snakes a red tail boa suffered a pretty nasty bite from a rat. He made a full recovery and I continued to feed him live. I had him until he was five feet or so until I felt I wasn't giving he enough attention so I gave him a statuary that promised to take good care of him. when I got back into the hobby I told myself that unless they won't take FT I won't risk feeding live. All my snakes are hogs and take meals how they come therefore I've never felt the need to feed live.

If your husbandry is good, you will NEVER have to worry about a king snake eating. hehe.

Grats again.
