"One per week is just fine in my opinion. If it were pinks I could understand feeding him more and I myself do feed them until they are satisfied. I think one fuzzy per week is a good amount for a small snake"


One fuzzy per week. Well as long as t6he snake is not growing then I guess one per week is all it can get from the owner then it will stay at fuzzy size.

Has everyone forgotten kingsnakes eat other snakes ? Sometimes bigger than they are and they are fine!! Matter of fact, they increase their chances of survival by being stronger and bigger. they also are better at reproducing.

My experience is kingsnake food should not stay at a certain size for very long. I start most of my nenates "out of the egg" on small fuzzies. I skip the whole pinky routine all together. Only very small kings get pinks and then the largest possible (never day old pinks)and I get them on fuzzies and then hoppers in a matter of a few weeks. I will be breeding many females this year that are 2007's.
