i have one, and she is one of my favorite snakes. she eats like a kingsnake should and is very docile. she's the only one i've ever had, so i cant say they are like this across the board, but everyone i know who keeps them has only good things to say. i keep her the same way i keep my calis, but in a smaller enclosure, because shes not very big.

I just want to know if they are a good pet and if they are handleable...thanks

I think they are great snakes and I often recommend them (as well as cornsnakes) as good beginner snakes. Mine is very handleable, agressive eater - but they can be quick. Great snakes!

Care sheets Rocky, care sheets, read em and you'll have all the info you need.
I had a pair and the male was a bitter and the female was fine. The male was huge too, 5' easy. Deffinately my favorit Kingsnake.
