Was digging around old photos and came across a couple I thought I would share. These pictures are about 20 years old now. We had a pet cal. king. Came home from work one evening and there was this garter snake sitting on the sidewalk in front of us. Decided to see what would happen if we put the two together. This is what happened.

Nice throw back pics Robert!! Was your king able to keep the meal down? I had a cal king when I was young that I fed a medium sized nerodia to and he yakked it up after a day or 2. Thanks for sharing!
 
Funny you would say that Patrick, that is exactly what happened. Big nasty mess of of barfed up garter snake shortly afterwards. Looking back at it, it was probably due to improper heating in the cage and/or the fact that the garter was pretty huge in relation to the king's own body size if I had to guess.

On a different note, looking at the picture, you can see the devastating constriction that king put on that garter... I mean s-q-u-e-e-z-e-d!!
