|
|
Ive just heard that king cobras only eat other snakes (occasionally large lizards)...if you have one in captivity what do you feed it? Does it just get used to eating rats as that's all its had since hatching/birth?
Just wondering.... |

I believe they are fed rodents on captivity, the latin name for kings is Ophiophagus hannah and Ophiophagy means 'snake eating'.
That's as far as my knowledge goes I'm afraid. _________________ www.ratsnakefoundation.org |

They said the ones on the telly are fed wild rats which have been dipped in snake-road-kill-soup in order to get a feeding response. _________________ A lil bit of Madagascar
