Jorge,
Look and stay on topic.
The respnse you guys gave to was that if a kingsnake eats to many pinkies it could throw up.
You guys already know all this , but for those being misled I will reply to them..
First is if a kingsnake like a calif king, eastern, Florida/brooks is offerred several pinks it will eat until it is feels like it is full. Then it will stop and any leftover can be removed. They won't eat until the pinks are sticking out it mouth like they fed on a snake larger than themselves.
Second is if the cage/unit does not have a hotspot and is to cold , then yes it will regurge.
These snake eat other snakes in the wild. Their systems are made up for large meals. And if they eat a snake that is larger, then yes, they will regurge . But with small individual mice in a rubbermaid box with adequet heat and if the snake isn't already starved for years,. no, they won't.
finally if a person comes on here andt asks adice on a kingsnake that they are still feeding one or two pinks a week and the snake is 20" or a year or two years old. Do you really think advicing them to feed sparingly is pushing the person in the right direction? They are already to afraid to overfeed. They simply need to be pushed in the right direction and that is feed the snake as much as it will eat or bump up the food item. With my experince a person who has been feeding pinks for 6 months to a year (sometimes to 2 yr old Florida kingssnakes) is reluctant already to press the size of the food item and/or feeding intervals.
Use a little common snese before posting and giving advice.
