When I came across the kingsnakes I thought "Hmmmm"!!!
I have read a lot on them and find them very interesting and totally different from balls. So when I saw the banana cal king I fell in love. Although, the banana color is almost like a pastel cream color. I always thought banana was yellowish (like my Banana ball I have).
Anyways, she is a baby which takes some getting used to for me. I heard they grow slowly, is that true?
And I hardly ever see her because she barries herself in the aspen substrate, and then when I don't see her I panic thinking she escaped... lol
Oh they are definitely different from BPs. Juveniles are super quick and flighty and take some time to get used to handling when you're used to BPs. Make sure your enclosure is definitely escape proof, they can squeeze through some tiny openings.
They do grow slow, compared to BPs anyway. You'll see more of her as she ages. My boy will very rarely burrow these days and is far more active than my BP.
