I dunno. Fed them (southerns) to e.corals--no problems. Tried them with scarlet kings--they wouldn't touch 'em.
I can tell you though, I'll be darned if I'll try them with my SFMK! Or any other snake for that matter.
I think one of my observations from many years ago where I nearly lost a Cal king because a ringneck bit down and held (as they will do at times to anything) the Cal's glottis was misinterpreted as an intentional act (aiming specifically for the glottis) when it was most likely a defensive "bite back whatever I can" thing. I mean since the little ringneck's head was in the Cal's mouth, he didn't really have a big choice.
By the way, I did not intentionally try to feed my Cal the ringneck. A classmate in our herp club at school thought he would be sneaky and slipped it in my Cal's cage.
I was not a happy kid. It took 20 min to get that li'l snake to let go.
I love the little ringnecks and if they got to be 3', I might keep them exclusively.
HA!
