HI

My name is Kareem.I have worked with kingsnakes for about 7 years now and i would recomend a grey banded kingsnake all the way.BUT!!!!if you have read anything on greybands you will inevatibly have found the part that says youngsters prefer lizards to mice.My 2 adults strike at mice every time and make tame cornsnakes look aggresive!my girlfriend recently baught a baby greyband and for 2 weeks it fed fine and then it just stopd?week to week i tried every differnt method i could think of but it just wouldnt eat.then on the 8th week i found out about a product called lizard maker by T Rex droped a bit of that on a pinky and boom he ate!we slowly weend him off and now he strike feeds every time!if the greyband you have seen is an establishd feeder then go for it they rarely exceed 3 and a half feet and become very tame.i have allso had royals and to give you a quick overview.captive bred royals that feed are brilliant pets and you will rarely encounter problems but wild caught or captive farmed royals can give you a magor headache!

I hope i have been of some help and best of luck whith whichever pet you choose.

Kareem
