My milk snake brings all the boys to the yard... or wait, does my king snake?

[DennisM]

I think it depends on the snake. My Cal. King is very feisty when it's dinner time - mouth gaping, hissing, all reared up... as soon as he realizes there's no food involved, he settles right down and mellows out.

dinner time (real or imagined) doesn't count. they're all feisty then!
