 My New Cal King!!! and a question...

This is Striker my newest California Kingsnake...





ok, so now for the question, It’s mainly about his diet, the previous owner said that he ate chicken gizzards or something like that, it was along with a normal diet of rats and snakes though, i was just wondering if anyone else fed gizzards to there kings??? And if so, do you cook them first or feed it to them raw???

skip the gizzards go with fat young adult mice(2 per wk) striker needs something that will stick to his ribs.

I’d add, please give Striker a bigger water dish, too, one he can get fully in. My snake really likes to stretch out in her water bowl.

thanks!!!

LROY- can i feed him young rats instead of adult mice??? I heard somewere that rats are more meaty or something like that.

greatballzofire- Thanks for the input, I was planning on getting him a larger one tommorow, i just put that one in there so he would have something to drink while he waited.

It means its a Hypomelanistic, meaning its deficiant of darker pigment, and "floridana", is the latin species name for the florida kingsnake, Lampropeltis floridana. And yes it is a gorgeous king. =]

oh and please correct me if i’m wrong. I always love to learn. =]

i have kept all the different common king subs and have found the easterns to be the biggest and most intelligent and the easiest to keep and breed.
