First snake!

[Daeorn]

I'm really excited.

I haven't owned snakes since I was a kid, and I only then owned a pair of really nasty garder snakes.

I picked up a beautiful baby Striped Albino Kingsnake from a Petsmart near me. (I work at a petstore, however this snake really caught my attention)


I've only had him 4 days now, but he's already shed, and ate a pinkie, which I take as good signs. He's (haven't had it sexed yet) got a really good personality, not too jumpy or nippy as some young snakes are.

Right now he's in a 10 gallon, and he looks great in it.

This isn't mine, but its exactly what he looks like.

......Let me buy it...My local pet stores only have pythons, so this is a precious jewel.

[phantoms]

kings always look pissed off haha. kings are ferocious eaters. im not surprised at all that he ate for you already! i bet he would have eaten right out of the cup you brought him home in! lol

haha, also just picked up a full grown male honduran milksnake, I'll get pics up soon.

He's really really friendly, right now wraped around my neck.
He'll be going in a 30gal custom tank.

wow!!!!! awsome!!! what do u feed it and what do you need for it???

Wow, their real beautiful, we have a king snake living in our backyard.

I fed the kingsnake a pinkie, and the milksnake will eat a large mouse.

They just need a large enough enclosure, the right bedding (I'm using cypress bedding) and heat lights, I also have uv on both my snakes.
