[QUOTE="Geckospot, post: 10504, member: 244"] Its ok. Kingsnakes can go months without eating. They are primarily lizard/snake eaters (thats why they're called kingsnakes). You'll never get it to eat bugs LOL. You can offer it anoles from your yard or try mice from the petstore. Many kingsnake keepers have problems getting their WC snakes to eat mice. Try catching a few large anoles outside and break off the tails. Put the tails in the freezer. When you're ready to feed the snake, rub the blood from the lizard tail on the mouse. This is called scenting and often works to get those stubborn snakes to eat. If you are keeping it in an outside cage, it may have gone into brumation since its gotten pretty cold here all of the sudden. You can get loads of information from the kingsnake forums at www.kingsnake.com. Let me know how it turns out. :) [URL="http://www.Geckospot.com"]www.Geckospot.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
