Rock on! I knew a King owner would step up and offer some advice!

Also, be aware that some kingsnakes can be lizard only feeders when they are young. I am not experienced with Florida Kings but I have seen this with other kings. From the looks of the picture that Florida king looks pretty young so this may be the case. Your best bet would be to contact the breeder that you bought him from and ask specific questions about how he feeds his Florida kings. If he had them eating pinkies, you should have no problem once it settles in; however, if he was feeding ground skinks or anoles....you might have to go collecting.

Hope that helps a bit.

Um, is sand his entire substrate? I'd be concerned about the sand abrading his skin and worried about impactions.

any updates on your little guy?
