Prairie Kingsnake VS Ca King temperment

Malays Oct 14, 2006 08:58 AM

Hello
Putting aside the PC (not all snakes are equal) as a whole which has a better disposition . Ca king or Prairie King ?
Perhaps both same?

Thanks

Prairie kings as a rule (remember all snakes are individuals) are calmer than Cals..At least in my experiences.
I recommend them as "beginner" snakes.

Thanks. The pics you have are great but the Florida kings are particularly outstanding.

Both are very docile in my experience. So I wouldn't choose based on the temperment, because odds are they will both be very calm if handled and beyond the hatchling stage. Cal kings are more likley though to resist handling as a whole, but this usually amounts to smearing you, not biting you.

Thank you both for the info. I decided after reading the replies to get the Prairie .
