California Kingsnake feeding and care questions?

It is always best to feed in a separate container so that he won't mistake your hand for food when you reach in to pick him up. He can be moved back into is tank once he was swolled the entire mouse and has his jaw back in place. It is possible to switch to F/T from live, but with his age he may not accept it. In all cases it is best to wait at LEAST one week after he has been introduced to a new environment to try and feed him. Try to minimize handling and feeding as much as possible until he has had time to get used to his surroundings and he should be happy.
