well FR is the expert with more experience here.. but I still think one should not wait to feed a kingsnake after arrival via fed ex overnight. Jusy my opinion based on my experience shipping thousands... I found more problems with them adjusting that way if people wait. when people do wait and don't take my advice then the darn snakes don't want to eat.. so this is my advice to everybody with kingsnakes. As the kings are in a new location.. well, let me just say the best rule is if they eat, , let them eat, feed them! I don't think FR will disagree with that (?).



I just believe they settle in better with a full stomach or they can go off feed. Especially during winter months from transport from a mild to a more northern cold climates



Can you post a pic of the snake?.. I am curious as to the size of this snakes.. so use a coin or something for reference.. or just a pic in the hand for size reference would be best.
