I like snakes, ANY snakes, better than mice, so you'd never find me doing that. I'm not saying I hate mice either, but they're plentiful & not all that smart.
As already mentioned, there's no reason a king snake has to eat other snakes, just because they can & do in the wild. Actually, you risk more parasites &
pathogens being shared with YOUR pet from feeding any other herps...so between paying more for the 'feeders' & then trying to clean up whatever your
king snake catches from them, no, I'm not seeing it...
I know that zoos feed ophiophagus serpents (like some fussy cobras) on other culled snakes & I accept that, but I'm still awfully glad that's not my job.
