ok something new!
Roxy seems hungry lately,
i feed her 2 small mice once a week, the breeder i bought her from said thats what she eats.
I fed her this past sunday, and she ate em right down, but everytime i go near the viv she gets all excited/smells a lot and moves like she wants more food! she gets that way if she sees a reflection in the glass, seems shes still hungry!
any advice? |

How old is Roxy, or how big is she?
To be honest, there is really no advice to give, this is just normal behaviour when shown food. Nine times out of ten you will notice this is Cali Kingsnakes or Mexican Blacks, which are VERY food orientated. The bheaviour is only a good sign of that you have a healthy snake.

| Some kings are like dustbins and will eat whatever you put in front of them. As Scott asked, we will be able to give you more advice if we know age and size (length and weight) |

| I would try a larger food item. I have a 3 year old blotched king who i am moving on to large mice. Do you know the weight of your snake as this will also help us |
