Again, I can only speak for gray-banded kings, not other species. Both my gray-bands and corn snakes were fine as hatchlings and not likely to bite. As far as appetites go, my corns have always been better eaters than my gray-bands. Thus they get heavier, in fact they can easily get too heavy in my opinion. My gray-bands have not.



Whichever you pick, make sure the baby is a well established feeder.
