Just a pic of my female scarlet king. She's from my backyard a couple of years ago. Eats fuzzy mice like candy.

I was lucky with her. I fed her a thawed lizard with a thawed pink a couple of times, then she switched right to thawed pinks no problem. She was actually too fat last year and I backed off a little bit on how much I feed her.

She's very nice Amy. It's a definite plus if she takes mice so readily.

Thanks, Dennis. I've had her a couple of years and she's grown considerably. She was amazingly easy to get on mice.

Very nice! How's her temperament?

ShadyLady Sep 12, 2011 06:50 PM

Thank you! She's pretty like a little jewel. She's quick and squirmy like a milksnake, but quickly calms down when held. I've had her about two years now. Found her in shed under something in my back yard. It was October and real cool at that time and I didn't think she was in a warm enough spot so I brought her inside. She was a good bit smaller then.

I had one before that would constantly bite when held. It used to crack us up because it didn't hurt, but left tiny red marks, LOL! That one never ate anything but anoles and when I couldn't find any and paid six bucks for one at the pet shop, decided it was time to release it.

Glad she's doing well. I like to ask about temperament since scarlet kings are usually associated with being "difficult" in captivity.
