How bitey are calkings?

[PweEzy]

Ive had my caliking for a couple years and it has never struck at me. My buddy got it as a hatchling and we just held it alot so it got used to it. Just get a baby and train it well from the beginning and you shouldn'thave any problems

I thought I was feeding Skittles pretty well, but just picked up some more frozen mice from my local breeder, and when he first handed them to me, I thought "there's no way Skittles is going to be able to eat these - they are too big for him!" (they were nice sized adult mice, he's been on mediums, and I'd call these large)

But I came home, heated one up, offered it to him. Took him a little longer to get it down, but get it down he did, and was quite pleased with himself. It left a bit of a lump, but not a terribly pronounced one, and within a couple of days the lump was gone.

So, I think I'm going to be keeping him on this sized mouse until he's big enough for small/small rats.

He gets fed far more frequently than the balls do. But he's my little man and he's wrapped himself around my heart, so he gets what he wants, when he wants it.

I've had my Cal King for 3 years now, bought him as a hatchling. In those 3 years I have been bitten 0 times and he's struck at me 0 times.

He's not shy and loves to be held and pet. He thinks he's a cat or something.

Darn best tempered snake I have ever seen.

My albino tagged me today. Took me a while to convince him to let go ... and all the while he was trying to adjust his bite so he could start swallowing my finger.
