Yes, exactly. It is a good thing it wasn't a hungry kingsnake -- you know, a snake whose primary preferred prey is reptiles? Carpet pythons prefer mammals, birds, and marsupials, as you might know, so even a hungry carpet python isn't likely to be a threat to a gecko in most cases. A hungry kingsnake, on the other hand, is pretty likely to strike. Guess I wasn't clear in what I was saying.Originally Posted by gncz73
