We all know kingsnakes eat other snakes. No kidding. I know it happens in nature, and I'm sure some keepers feed their kings other snakes, including corns. Out of sight, out of mind. My problem with the person that posted this is, not only did he feed a healthy looking, live corn to a king on this forum, but also on the cornsnake fourm, of all places. Do people that raise and admire corns really want to see this? Would it be cool for someone to post pics on this fourm of an indigo chewing the head off of a live Florida king? May not be a big deal on the indigo fourm, but what about the folks that have an attachment & love for florida kings?
As far as feeding F/T mice, I don't see how that even compares to the live corn being fed to the king. Now if your talking feeding live rodents to your snakes, then yes, fair comparison. But then again who on here is posting pics of live rodents being fed to snakes over on the rodent fourms? If the corn had looked like it was on it's death bed, or at the very least pre-killed before hand, I would have had less issues with the orginal post. There's no educational intent in that post. It was the showoff factor, pure & simple.
