I feed my snake on new year eve and she went straight for it and rapt her self around it first time I seen her do this I feed her in the viv because that was wot the last person done.
It the first time she eat the mouse as soon as I give it to her.
Her normal routine is to leave the mouse over night or eat it in the night sometimes I have to take the mouse out after 24 hours because she not eaten it. Are king snake always this difficult to feed. Me and my daughter is getting a new snake soon but a corn and this time a baby one

Alright m8, I'm not sure if kings are fussy eaters but mine rejected his feed last night not sure if this is down to the fact that I think he might be going into a shed though. Hope yours starts eats soon though

My king goes through phases of eating and not eating. Sometimes he will grab the food, other times he will eat it the next day and other times I have to take it out cos he's just left it completely. Mine hasn't eaten for the past two weeks, but its feeding day today so who knows what will happen this time.

I think kings are just more susceptible to cold. Nagini goes off food every winter and Tempo has been a pain to feed the last few weeks.

They should get more ravenous when the weather gets better. Fingers crossed!

Well Sylar decided to eat one of his rat pups the day after feeding day and leave the other where it was.
The fun and games continue
