a friend i work with says his lil bro has a king he lost interest in and doesnt take good care of it anymore letting him go off feed for a couple weeks at a time maybe more and has mad cage aggression and strikes at anything or anyone near or in his tank.my friend told me he'll tell his bro someone will adopt his king and take care of it if hes no longer interested in the commitment tonight.tomorrow ill get the answer,but for knowledge id like to hear info from the OGs of kings.

im well educated on keeping bps in my short life in the snake love but know jack crap about the rest. theres caresheets ive read and will always read more but heres some random questions.

do kings like radiant heat or belly heat more?

i've read that any diseases that a colubrid has wont carry over to pythons or boas.
is that true?would ibd cross over if present in the king?respiratory infections?etc?

if so how far away should i keep their enclosures?closet?different room entirely?
use different hemostats for both?

ehk sorry for asking when its not a for sure thing but the mind always has room to grow.especially in snake care
