He/She got a little feisty with me this morning. I added a little more substrate since he (or she) really likes to burrow, and as soon as I stuck my hand in, his tail started shaking like crazy and as soon as I got my hand out, he(she) struck at me. Hopefully, we'll get settled down a bit once I start handling him/her which I'll probably wait until next weekend for. What's interesting to me is the color of this snake, sometimes it looks black & white and other times it looks brown and off white. Another question... I was told yesterday that kings tend to be very "cage aggressive" or territorial and that it is better to feed them in a different enclosure, so that they don't associate the feeding/hunting agression with their enclosure, and are less likely to strike when you reach in. Is there any truth in this, and does feeding them in a seperate area indeed help with that?
