A pinky is too small of a food item for a 24 inch kingsnake. It is too small for the snake to find worth constricting. At the very least you should be giving it fuzzy mice, which if fed live, the snake would probably constrict.

If a 3 foot rat snake came across a nest of pinky rats, chances are it would simply eat them alive. If it came across a half-grown rat, it would constrict it.
