>>Hm? Now, I'm confused...I didn't even really get Larry's comment. Aren't Micrurus spp. general reptile eaters? The implication I am receiving is that they be snake-exclusive-eaters, or prefer snakes more than not...?



Many will only eat snakes. Some will eat skinks, but they're not much easier to get. I've heard from at least one person who says they've gotten them to voluntarily takes strips cut from a larger snake which would greatly simplify things, but I've had no luck with it in the past.



I won't get another coral until I either have a steady supply of cheap small snakes or a breeding colony of skinks...which pretty much requires me to start breeding crickets again... ugh.
