Hello folks, I have been considering getting a snake, a California king snake in particular
and have a few questions.
--If I was to get a captive KS should I get a young one or does that not play a part in temperament/getting use to it's new owner?
--If I was to later breed a couple could I release the young seeing to it I live in the Sonoran desert?
I could just catch a wild one but I prefer to leave whats in the wild, wild.
--I have only handled a snake once and it was about 8" long (don't remember what kind)
I want to get hands on experience first or does it matter?
Take a look at this guy and his nasty CKS seems like he is a little to aggressive with him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14uEmdnQL5E
I know there are probably better beginner snakes like corn snakes, however I am only interested (currently) in CKS.
Aside from properly caring for/following a proper care sheet anything else I need to look at? Do you have any advice or things I could learn from your start?
Here is a picture of one crawling around the backyard, I wish s/he would come back around so I could observe a little closer.
