sorry this site only allows a maximum of 2000 characters per post.

So feed the heck out of him and leave food in overnight and see if he eats that way instead of taking from a tong-which you don't need to do!

Also, ..if he is in pre shed cycle he may not eat until after he sheds.
Post some comprehensive pics of the entire snakes and closeup of the head and eyes.

One last suggestion I have is read some of the posts by a poster here who goes by the username FR. He is a pioneer and has some great insight to the ethology and behavior of kingsnakes (and snakes and reptiles in general) and that will really help you understand the uniqness of keeping snakes as opposed to other animals. We are lucky to have him here.



Thanks
