I believe we've had this discussion before. In the wild, kings only eat cold blooded prey, their biochemistry is geared to this. feeding them rodents may enable them to survive, but if you compared one fed strictly cold blooded prey and one fed warm blooded prey, I think you would find that the one eating snakes would live significantly longer and have far fewer health problems.
What's the difference between raising CB snakes for feeders vs. captive bred rodents?
Your perception, that's what.

What a beauty. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] Thomasito, everything has to eat. Same as striving to keep a Coral alive.

OMG...that thing is FREAKY lookin!!! I always thought hot snakes had more of a longer, pointed nose? I know this might sound stupid to some, but I can't say I've really studied them up close...[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] It's face looks more like a lizzard than anything...maybe a Uromastyx <sp>

That is actually a common misconception. It is true of MOST North American Hots. Mostof what we have (with exception of Coral Snakes) are pit vipers. They do tend to have the stereotypical arrow shaped heads. In the case of Elapids (like the cobras and corals) they have a more "standard" shaped head.

Actually, just like in non-venomous snakes, head/body shape and sizes vary in hots to best fit their ecological niche. Terrestrial vipers like rattlesnakes and gaboons are usually more heavy-bodied and tend to have wide heads. Elapids are usually slender with more narrow heads. But like I said, there's a lot of variation among species.
