First Bite!?!

Love the pic of him all wrapped up on your thumb!

I don't know a lot about kings, but I browse this part of the forum because they are beautiful. What species is he?

He is a Mexican black kingsnake. His future girl friend is super dark but he should darken as he ages to a jet black. I had to do the cold water trick to get him to let go and even that took a good minute and a half, luckily although I could feel his little teeth they where to small to break the skin. Lol I rushed him back to his cage as soon as he let go, pried his coil off my thumb, because even this he was concentrating on his breathing for a second he was not going to let me go! And immediately went and warmed up his dinner.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, their teeth don't hurt much. One time I had one of my BPs wrap up on me, and even with the bigger snake it wasn't the teeth that hurt. I was starting to get slightly concerned when my fingers were turning blue before I got the snake to let go though....

He decided my thumb was a good snack and would NOT let me go. Some how I managed to survive, here is a picture of the vicious attack. Luckily my mom was visiting and reminded me of the most important thing to do in this terrifying position, pictures!
