Is there anyway (besides catching it) that I can get a young ( approx.2-3ft) rattlesnake? Are they're sites you can order them from or do I need some sort of license? Another thing is does it have to be a foreign rattlesnake, meaning an out of state one(im from california) because states protect their own state species? Ever since I found out that Kingsnakes eat rattlers in the wild I've bin wanting to feed him 1. I've fed him a corn before but that wasnt very much of a challenge though, the corn got swallowd alive( got eaten butt first and never even struck at my snake). Thanx

See my response in the other forum. The trouble and expense of what you are suggesting far outweigh any benefit. As far as the health of your pet there is no need to go to the extra trouble, just stick with an appropriate sized rodent about once a week.
