I hear ya Mike. A good buddy of mine just had a cal king female try to kill the male after the breeding this year. She does this often, and is known as the Black Widow! HA HA! Unfortunately, she has killed another male in the past, and this male this year was quite lucky!

I had it only happen once back when I bred snakes, with a adult male Cal king that tried to kill the female the minute I put them together to breed. Thankfully, I was there to make sure that didn't happen, and they bred without problem the next time.

It is just one of those things with some kings, hence their name and reasoning behind it.
