There are no Cons with KSB's

youngsters can be nippy, but generally grow out of it with age and handling.

i have had my KSB since it was born and it have never bitten me...

 

[Riyo]

Youngsters can indeed be nippy. I have a young female who is 30 grams of pure malice. My other two are extremely docile. I'm hoping Juno will grow out of it.

That's really the only con I can think of other than they are not display snakes. They stay hidden most of the time.

I have 3.6, all babies except one who's a sub adult. They are great little snakes, easy to care for.

there are pros and cons with everything but not too many with KSBs.

Pros

care is easy

they generally docile

Cons

They are always burrowed under substrate so never really see them.

as kasey and whitney had said they can be nippy as youngsters. but.... anything with a mouth and teeth can be nippy. i have worked and breed them for years... and personally never been bit by a single KSB and honestly wouldnt put them in that category. when i seen the thread name the VERY FIRST thing that popped in my head was... there really are no cons that i can think of. as jarrett first said.
