Scarlet Kingsnakes are not really an easy kingsnake to keep.....that is why you are having a little trouble. Young scarlet kingsnakes are primary lizard feeders eating mosting ground skinks and similar small lizards(or snakes). And even if you have a readily supply of ground skinks....that does not mean it will eat them...ha ha.

You would be much better off picking a more commonly kept kingsnake with similar looks to the scarlet, but if you are intent on getting one....I would just keep an eye on the classifieds at kingsnake.com they will pop up every now an then....you just have to look harder than for the more common animals.
