https://forums.kingsnake.com/forum.php?catid=257 Colorful and popular as pets both the Arizona and California Mountain Kingsnakes have long been favorites among hobbyists and breeders. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of mountain kingsnakes (L.pyromelana and L. zonata). Kingsnakes use constriction to kill their prey and tend to be opportunistic when it comes to their diet, including venomous snakes, lizards, rodents, birds and eggs, as well as siblings and littermates. The "king" in their name (as with the king cobra) references their taste for other snakes. In captivity kingsnakes normally take pre-killed rodents. Most sub-species of kingsnakes are available today as captive bred specimens.
