Re: Snuggling Kings...

Your kings don't try to eat each other? Or are these just a few quick pics? Either way amazing looking kings!

Re: Snuggling Kings...

Chris...
My kings don't try to eat each other.....
I house my kingsnakes together in breeding pairs or trios.....
Never two males in one enclosure.....
I have no cannibalism issues....Plus mexicana and montane kings are far less cannibalistic.

The best advice I can give to someone without a great deal of experience with kings is to NOT house them together.

How do you get them to not each other? Do you house your milks together too?

Re: Snuggling Kings...

Yeah I don't have to much experience but I just introduce my female to my males tub and watch for an hour or so then after I'm sure they had a lock it's back to their own enclosures

Re: Snuggling Kings...

My king would eat another I am sure. He tries to eat my hand after I have handled another snake so I assume he would go right to town on another snake.
Nice looking kings!!!

Re: Snuggling Kings...

No and I probably won't. He is a goini king and there is a local breeder here in town.
I have posted about his psyco feeding response on here before. Maybe he would be ok with a female but like I said he is nuts and tries to eat anything that moves on feeding day. He sometimes strikes out from under his substrate hitting the glass on his enclosure just when I walk by. I feed him well and he is still a nut. This is actually my favorite thing about him. Crazy snake!!! Love it!!
