Your Questions Answered
How is its temperament for handling?
This morph typically displays a calm and curious disposition when handled regularly outside of feeding periods. As with most kingsnakes, they can be food-responsive, so we recommend handling with clean hands and establishing a consistent routine.
Will it stay completely black?
Yes. A true Mexican Black Kingsnake like this one will maintain its solid, jet-black coloration through adulthood. You will not see the development of yellow or white banding.
What should I feed it?
This animal is established on frozen/thawed pinky mice. Feed an appropriately sized rodent (slightly wider than the snake’s widest point) every 5-7 days for a juvenile, adjusting frequency as it grows.
