Hi:

Nothing like going right near to the top of the difficult to handle snake list...Do you stock you own antivenom? You should!

The most effective way I like to use is make a dead snake puree in a blender (hopefully not your wife's) and dole it into small disposable baggies. You don't need anymore than a few teaspoons in each. Freeze them until you're ready to feed. Get a F/T rodent and a baggie of snake puree and defrost them. When defrosted coat the rodent like "Shake & Bake" and feed to KC as you would a dead snake. They usually will take it no problem. After a while use less & less puree, eventually they will accept rodents alone. If you switch rodent (mouse to rat ect..) types you may have to repeat the proceedure.

Have fun, Be Careful

You can take the animal out of the jungle but you can never take the jungle out of the animal.

but do they actualy work on most kings?because it's quite some job to go looking for a dead snake and a spare blender to start with lol.thanks anyway
