How To Feed A ​​Kingsnake?

Picture

Temperament

Kingsnakes are slightly more aggressive than a Corn Snake and quite a bit more timid.  They create an "S" shape with their body when preparing to go into a defensive position.  For juvenile snakes that you've only recieved recently,  give them a few days to get used to their new environment before handling.  King Snakes can release a musky odor when stressed.  Handle with slight caution for the the first few times.   

Venomous

NO

Lifespan

10 - 15 years in ideal living conditions.

Size

Hatchlings are 8 - 12 inches.
​
Adults can are 36 - 72 Inches.

Weight

2500g - 3500g

Morphs

- California
​- Albino
- Chocolate
- Lavender
- Reverse Stripe
- Carpet
- Twin Dotted

Habitat & Temperature

Ambient temperature of 75 - 85 degrees F.

Basking area surface temperature of 85 degrees F.

Humidity

50 - 60%

Where To Purchase?

Kingsnakes can be purchased at most of your local pet stores if you just call in advance, or most reputable online retailers should have them available.

Feeder Sizing

Kingsnakes can generally eat 1 - 1.5x  the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.5x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.  

Available Premium Feeders:
We offer premium zoo quality veterinarian raised feeders such as Rats, Day Old Chicks & Mice here in Canada but there are many other reputable suppliers if your located outside of the country.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding a Kingsnake live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically, don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely to have.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of diseases which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen feeders for your snakes safety but also your own health.
