I would never have know he was a King Snake though!

I used to have a California King, she was the most placid, beautiful, curious and interesting snake I ever knew, but she didn't look much like yours, I guess it's dependent on the species. They do have different temperaments, I guess you could compare them to cats. We had a grumpy cat called Oliver who would swipe you if you even breathed in his direction. His counterpart and partner in crime was Chloe who is the fussiest, most talkative creature, she is always happy, purring and climbing all over anyone that will allow.

Strange creatures, but I'm pleased you agree my setup is OK. I'll take some pics and post them...

BTW, I have been brushing scabby with cotton ear swabs dipped in warm water for a few days whilst he is basking, and he doesn't seem to mind or move away. He pushes his body toward the pressure from the swab, I'm not sure why though. When he's had enough he hides away.
