Considering a Black Milk Snake

[Craiga 01453]

I love my MBK... she is definitely still very squirmy, musks EVERY SINGLE TIME I take her out right now, still hides a lot, and believe it or not tends to be more shy when it comes to eating. Very often I have to just leave the mouse in the enclosure and leave, and she'll grab it at her own leisure. Its actually funny, cause she'll go under the substrate and slowly get closer to the mouse. She'll peek her head out of the substrate like a periscope, look around, then go under and come back up a little closer. Eventually.. she'll get the mouse, having "surprised" it in its predatory hunt.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Wow, my King is the total opposite. He'll rattle and tense up every once in a while, but not often at all. Typically he's a mellow sweetheart. But he's also an adult. Still has an insane feeding response. As soon as he smells mouse he's a completely different animal.
