Most king* snakes are NOT hard to get feeding...I've bred & raised California kings before...they fed like crazy.
*Some kinds (like gray-bandeds) ARE notoriously hard to get going though (which might be responsible for the comment given & experience that Caitlin had?). Keep in
mind that all snakes have individual characteristics anyway...and the fact is, YOUR king snake is hard to feed. This is often the result of breeding snakes for appearances
as is common in this hobby for the purpose of making money on snakes with unusually attractive markingsrather than the way nature does things: the survival of
the fittest, so please keep that in mind. The "prettiest snake" may or may not be the best at thriving.
