Ive just had Snoop out and was holding him when he suddenly started to I think constrict is the wrong word but his grip was remarkable for such a little fella. So a question occured to me and I would love to know the answere. When he is fully grown, and considering he is all muscle, how strong is he in terms of power, obviously nothing like a retic, but in terms of if he was around someones neck say, would a person have to worry if he started to constrict. Im not for one minute going to stick him around my neck but its the only thing I could think of!!!

I think if he tried really hard he might worry you for a few seconds but you would be more than strong enough to pull off a king snake. Don't worry about putting a king around your neck though, when they get larger its where snakes like to 'sit' as its easy for them to hold on

Yeah when they have just shed they look incredible, that shine is to much. Also the evil look they have is a winner, its what guided me to him in the first place.

I think Nagini has nearly killed me a few times whilst been around my neck.
She is strong, but since I can still shout 'lewy, get her off!' whilst she's constricting me she can't be that adam-ant to get me

Probably is- she's well behaved at Reptile nights. Letting everyone think she's an angel, but I know... cunning she is
