scarlet king feeding question

wayne13114 Jan 31, 2004 11:44 PM

I have a pair of scarlet kings both about a foot one eats pinks all day the other only alive anoles. I have two questions first the larger one could eat about 5 pinkys with no problem I was just wondering if they will eat bigger mice like fuzzys and hoppers? also are there scarlet kings that can never be switched to pinks? I have tried scenting, live pinks, brained pinks, left her alone in the dark for a day, tease feeding her is about the only thing that gets her to notice a pinky, thanks for all your help

I have one adult that eats mice or lizards and one that eats only lizards.

It is between a fuzzy and hopper. If the snake is willing they can eat a fairly large one.
