This information is facinating.

Since our king isn't eating pinkies (though he has only ever had pinkies) I decided to reach into his wild instinct side.
I caught a small gecko and placed it in his terranium.
We have been leaving our snake alone so that the insecure feeling will not be a factor in him not eating.
we have reached optimal temp condition and its very consitant now.
I noticed a couple days ago the gecko is gone, just vanished.
The gecko, tho small, had a head twice (or a bit more) bigger than our king's head. Is it possible that he ate the lizard?
i've been looking around the house for a lizard and watching my cats as they love catching lizards and nothing.
its been a few days since i really looked at our king and i didn't notice a bulge last night. but geckos are soft and squishy so i'm assuming after a couple days there would be no bulge....
is it possible that he ate it???
