Not going to kill you! She's BEAUTIFUL and a very good choice! I've had king snakes in the past (& even bred some), never a grey banded though. I'm not surprised that this breeder is also the source of the TPs- they have good taste, as do you. I know what you mean about those snake-eyes. I LOVE the expressions that some snakes have.

It's fun to see snakes burrowing, & some really love it. When I bred & raised rosy boas, I made some substrate for the neonates initially by taking several layers of paper towels & tearing them into strips, then fluffing the curling strips together, & using them between a single layer paper towel underneath, & a single layer paper towel over the shreds, folding back a corner for a doorway, & holding it in place with the water bowl. Watching those little ones feeling so safe while exploring through the soft shreds, was just a hoot to watch. As a result, they also fed extremely well.
I later switched them to deep Carefresh, which holds together slightly, enabling them to dig & leave tunnels! Your king would like Carefresh too, btw.
There are many creative things you can do so snakes feel at home & I think giving them new things to explore is also a good way for them to learn, like snakey-kindergarten?

Yeah she's have fun digging around in the coconut chunks, but i do feel they might be a bit tough on her skin...
Yes i got a bunch of clean shredded paper and buying some care fresh this weekend to update all my tanks... Plus Care fresh and clean shredded paper it literally 1/4 the cost of other substrates lol.. so thats a plus!
I appreciate you a LOT for putting up with my crazy snake spree and giving me so much information!!!

Let's just say I know the feeling..."been there, done that". Just be careful not to go overboard on # of snakes you're keeping- you want to leave time to enjoy each one- not to mention stay within your budget (leave some savings in case medical care is needed), & all that cleaning gets old after a while.
Welcome to the addiction of keeping snakes.

I love & used to have MBKs too- they're another great choice. Sorry, I'm not "helping" am I? (I've had BPs, they're not my favorite snakes- very fussy.)
I'm SO glad that shop is near you & NOT near me!

I know right =P !!! The BP was beautiful but I've just never been a BP fan that much..
But yeah Honestly if the MBK is Still there in a month.. I may get it... I think a lot of people miss it because its at the bottom of the enclosure wall and there's no for sale tag yet (it came with the TP and GBK lol)... I think my only real concern with the MBK is that they get almost 6 feet long right? That'll be the biggest snake (once all have grown) ill have an thats a little intimidating.. But thats a reason why all my snakes so far have been babies or yearlings.. So that we can all grow together!! if that makes sense... because i still am scared of big snakes lol

Reason: "grow" not "row" together? LOL
