I agree it is hard to tell the size of the snake by description.. but 12" king should be on fuzzies already.. I feed mine large meals.. They eat snakes in the wild and can take it.

But without a picture.. I agree we cannot say for sure.

The only thing I disagree with is leaving the snake alone and not feeding it.. The best time to feed it in a new location and get the snake accliimated is to feed it the first day of arrival.

Back in the day one of the tricks to getting stubborn feeders to eat was to take them for a drive in the car for 1 hour.. While I can't explain it.. it worked almost all the time with snakes where we tried all sorts of methods and they refused.. esp lizard feeding spp.
