Looks like I either offended a number of ball python folks, or, the kingsnake moderator found my post inappropriate regarding acquiring frozen ball pythons to feed our king cobra (I guess they would rather just pretend that snakes never die and are given full burials). Anyway, you gave me a name of someone to contact who may be able to help us out. Can you give me that person's name and address....if this post lasts that long? And if Kingsnake zapped my last post, please provide an explanation as I wasn't aware I was violating any TOS.

Why not switch it over to rodents? Thats what I always did with all of mine, and they thrived & bred well on a rodent diet.

Good luck, Kings are the best!!

I imagine you are working primarily with either c/b animals, or young imports. This particular animal is a w/c imported adult and also happens to be in poor condition. So, switching it over to rodents is NOT going to happen any time soon. My plan is to eventually try to wean this snake on to a rodent diet but that is not a high priority right now; getting this snake back on its "feet" is my first concern. But, I do hope I can enjoy the success you have experienced with your kings; that's encouraging.
