I just got my first king snakes a week ago today. They are both California kings, one is dot and dash, one is banded.
The breeder, who is an old trusted friend, told me they hadn't eaten yet and they hatched on 7/7/11. I went and and picked them up even though they hadn't fed because of time issues. Both are active and seem quite happy and are drinking and peeing. I offered f/t pinkies last night and the dot and dash ate, the banded, which is the larger of the 2, didn't.
I'm not concerned yet, but just want to share my babies with everyone!
