California king snake diet Videos

He poops it out..

+Alejandra Reyes try giving him lots of plants and sticks to climb on the cool side of his cage. And rocks and other things on the warm side, it might encourage him to come out and explore more

+Alejandra Reyes well since he is wild caught he could just be very confused, just not used to living as a pet. He really should be living outside, as im sure being in a cage and around people doesn't make sense to him.

+Emma Broadbent but over what? My room is most of the time vacant and the temperature is just right. I don't move things around too much. But it seems like he is scared of me when I am inside? We are moving backwards:(

+Alejandra Reyes sounds like he may be stressed.

Ok so my snake was starting to go out of it's hidding spot more often when i was in the room, but as soon as other people step in he hides. Only with me he is ok to be out on his tank. Then all of a sudden he hides all day again! Last time I hasn't seen him in 2 days! I was worried. But his water bowl goes down and he eats regularly on feeding day. Anyone know what changed?

Yeah let him go, hell stress too much. If you want a snake go buy one, they're great pets

Handle him regularly but not too much since he is wild caught. The downside to keeping a wild caught is they're not used to human contact, though they do have personalities so you might have a more easy going one or one that'll nip the hand that feeds them. Also, because they're wild they could have parasites or anything caught from the outdoors, so they might not be the best to keep as a pet.

It's not a good idea to keep wild ones as pets...

@Maltaskin Hello! From my experience, all my three snakes have done fine with just one of those ExoTerra heat pads under one side of their tank. I would take him/her out at night and feel how cold he or she is. That isn't a very accurate way to tell but obviously if your snake is cold as opposed to warm, that is a bad thing. Like I said, all my snakes have done fine with just a UTH. Good luck and thanks for watching! Brandon

It's totally okay to feed your snake in its tank the only problem is that the depending on the substrates the prey item can get some stuck on him and if your snake ingest the subtrate then that is where the problem is. Also your king will rarely strike you because he will be expecting food whenever you put in your hand

Beautiful snake.I have a king snake also,just got him like 3 months ago.Question:I have a heating lamp which stays on during the day and a heating pad 24hrs but sometimes my apt gets a little chilly at night.Do u think I should get a heating lamp night light or the heating pad is a enough for night?

@iandrewRAWR This is actually not that big of a problem. As Brian from SnakeBytesTV said, snakes in nature would accidentally consume substrate when eating and many live healthy lives. However, with hatchling snakes, your point is very true. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! :)

So what would happen in the wild if a snake were to catch food items? Wild snakes do not have hands or a pair of tongs watching over them and keeping them from ingesting substrate. Thanks for watching!

@susromf5 You are a very kind person for thinking of the mouse's feelings, but if I were a mouse I would not be intelligent enough to have "feelings" about getting eaten. ;) Thanks for watching! :)

Exactly! I hate when people make it seem totally outlandish for an owner to feed their snakes in their cages! Thanks for watching and sharing your comment!

Thank you! Your videos are quite awesome as well! I have never really seen beauty snakes like that before. Nice vids! :)

@MunchkinSmith You should! From my experience, they are great animals. A little flighty, but very vigorous eaters! :)

I might be getting a high white one they r at a reputable pet shop for 30 bucks beautiful snakes

+Tony Guest mice

+UnamGirl85 1) Snakes can be very loyal, it depends on the snake, and how you treat it. My snake Lulu, loves relaxing and cuddeling with me, but she refuses to be near my sister. 2) Kings and corn snakes are known as the most docile and calm tempered snakes. They only bite, if it's the absolute last oppertunity, or if they mistake your hand for food doing feeding. But all snakes can be very calm, it depends on them, and you. 3) I let mine be around my neck whenever I'm home, I let her go around on my keyboard and table. But you should get them a terrarium, if you just let them go free, the can end up eating things, they're not supposed to and die. My snake is an Albino californian king snake, and I've honestly never meet such a calm and realxed snake ever.

thnx  man

Corn snake, king snake, and ball pythons are the best are the best choises

+Master Chief (AmericanShnazz) Hognose snakes are much smaller... just stating..

+Rumia Scarlet I'd go with a corn or milk snake. They're not as big and friendlier. Kingsnakes aren't bad either. Colubrids are my favorites. I also like Pythons, but I'm not a fan of boas.

Nice!~

hog noses are cute but i don't know i honestly prefer king snakes i have three high white kings

Sweet. I think I'll get it. But I sure do love hognose snakes.

yes its awesome

The kingsnake in question is a goini kingsnake.

KINGSNAKE DAMMIT!  lol , no but really that are fantastic colubrids 

Kingsnake or Kingsnake?

king

2nd Round: Hognose or Kingsnake?

+Rumia Scarlet king

+farrah pratt Or, you can make it up as you go along, like 99% of us.

I was a little late though...

I was about to type that in the comments!

+East Coast Critters those have chemicals too. any fucking wood that is bought in a bag will have chemicals drenched on them to keep it from rotting.Both you guys dont know what you are taking about. dont use wood what so ever.

I agree. Pine and cedar should never be used. They have chemical compounds that are hazardous to reptiles and can cause a number of severe health issues (such as respiratory infections, etc). If you want to use a shredded bark substrate I'd suggest 100% aspen or cypress.
