I've had several species & specimens of kings, and have occasionally fed reptile food.
One Cal King ate a leopard lizard, anoles, skinks & fence lizards. One Cal King years ago ate rubber boas and garters, I think. He was the only one to take garters.
I have tried to feed Garters, which are numerous here, but with no success. A prior Mexican Black ate a small Northwestern Garter, but soon regurgitated (first time).
My current Cal King didn't even look twice at the garter I gave to him. They became basking friends. A former Cal King showed similar disdain.
Have any of you experienced this situation? Is there a scent or other factor that repels kings against garters?
Have any of you had success feeding garters to kings? If so, what species of king??
