Kingsnake temperament

[collrak]

As babies colubrids are flighty and nippy. Handling them few times a week will settle them down. Most kings are docile if fed properly and given proper setups. Though there are times youll get one that will not tame down and be aggressive.

Thats the joys of snakes, they keep you on your feet.

Thanks, also from what i've gathered so far, milksnakes are a sub-species of kingsnakes. Are there any behavioral difference between the two? I heard that milksnakes are a little more flighty than kingnsnakes.
