Question
hi
i am still having trouble with handling my albino king snake his still wants to bite. and after shedding last night i tried to feed him, but his not eating, plz help

thanks

Answer
You need to be patient.  It can take some time for snakes to calm down and not want to bite.  Just continue with daily handling.  Wear gloves if you don't want to be bitten.  Also, wait a few days after he sheds before offering food.  Some snakes will want to eat right away and some do not. It will take some time to learn your snakes personality. Good luck :-)
