Differences in Corns and Kings

Aradia Aug 04, 2003 08:08 PM

I have two corns now, but I have been looking into getting a Lavendar King. I was wanting to know if anyone out there who has experience with Kings and the different traits of the breeds. Is there any advice anyone can give me, please. Thank you all in advance.

hey that's awsome man nice collection any tips are suggestions for you. well i have a cali king right now and he's tight a little grumpy when not fed so you know when he is hungry or not. very adventurous creature. make sure you check out whatever snake you are going to get. hold him and look around for any wounds or marks very important. ask how old he or she is when born when he got to the store. how they were feeding him when they were make sure you ask for a chart of when they fed them very important! those are some tips you always use. any other questions ask me at gregkastanes@hotmail.com or shiibysweetdude@aol.com or shiiby_sweet_dude@yahoo.com

A banded Cal king was my first snake. I curently keep one wild caught cal king. The only resone I have this one is becasue it got run over my a car. Its spine was snaped about 4" up the tail and it had bad swelling in its abdomen. Spine never heald strait and the swelling went away now he is eating and moving a lot. This is the only snake in my life I have seen that could get hit dead on by both driver side tires of a Dodge Neon and 1 month l8er show signs of at least an 80% recovery.
