A Florida king will try to eat a water snake almost twice it size in the wild.. OR, baby rabbits, chipmunks or whatever they come upon.. I think trying to eat to large a size food items is a more common occurance than we think... They just give up, spit out and move on.



learn to experiment!!(not FR! he experimented enough already).. Since this does not hurt the snake.. and the benefits outweigh any costs (actually will save $ on feeding tons of pinkies) if you think about it, you could already be feeding a large mouse in a short time span and be looking forward to breeding instead of feeding pinkies for another year or two. Just because I just don't think many people will feed multiple pinkies to a sub adult every single day.

So win win situation for both the keeper and the kept.
