Your Questions Answered
Is this snake a good choice for a beginner?
While kingsnakes are hardy, the "intermediate" care level reflects the need for consistent husbandry regarding temperature gradients and secure enclosures. A first-time keeper who has thoroughly researched colubrid care can succeed.
How white will this snake become as an adult?
The "High White" designation refers to the proportion and cleanliness of the white bands. This trait is stable; the banding pattern and contrast will remain, though the specific shade may intensify with maturity.
What is the current feeding schedule?
This juvenile is established on frozen/thawed pinky mice, typically fed one appropriately sized item every 5-7 days. A detailed feeding and shed history is provided with purchase.
