King snake is the fastest growing and larger snake (except pythons) among non-venomous snakes, but it is fierce, dares to compete with Agkistrodon acutus and Cobra among venomous snakes, and has the habit of cannibalizing the same kind or other snakes. Therefore, snakes can only be cultured alone and cannot be mixed with other non-venomous snakes in the same field. When breeding this snake, even if the bait is abundant and diversified, a certain amount of feed snakes, such as the red-spotted snake, the double-spotted snake and the water snake, are put in irregularly to satisfy its "hobby" of eating snakes and avoid the phenomenon of mutual swallowing between snakes, which is the main difference from other snakes.
King snake has a larger food intake than other snakes. A snake weighing about1000 ~1400g can swallow 1~2 toads or 2~3 chicks at a time. After a full meal, it will crawl back to the snake nest and lie still, and the digestion time will take about 7~ 15. If possible, it is best to put some feed snakes on a regular basis to satisfy their snake-eating preferences and avoid cannibalism. In addition, Wang Jinshe also eats eggs or quail eggs, so it is better to feed some when food is scarce to solve the urgent need.
