King Snake -STARVING-

Question
We NEED help. Snake seriously won't eat.

I have a 4ft long king snake we found in the yard 9 months ago. After having him 3 months he ate one mouse. He has not eaten since!!!

We have a glass cage 3ftx2ft with a warming light to keep the temp between 75-85. He has one enclosed house & also a wood climb that has a semi-secluded area. He seems heathly & is out roaming around most days.

He is easy to handle when he is out of the cage to be held. We are considering letting him go back to the wild if we can't get him to eat. Please help with any suggestions as my family really wants to keep him.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Answer
OK, "one mouse" is all I have to go on.  Not even sure which kind of king snake we're talking about.

What I need to know is what you've tried?  Try bigger-smaller, live-dead, rat-mouse, wild-store bought, baby chicks, ???

Large wild caught snakes can sometime be very hard to acclimate to captivity.  Try some of those things and if he's not eating within say 3 weeks release him and buy yourself a gauranteed eating baby of the same species.
