A well-balanced king or milk snake diet consists of appropriately sized frozen rodents, thawed/warmed to above room temperature. Feed juveniles once a week, adults every one to two weeks. Feed in a separate tank so that your snake doesn't associate your hand or the habitat beingvopened with feeding. Fresh, clean, chlorine-free water should be available at all times in a bowl large enough for your snake to soak in.

Always wash your hands before and after handling your reptile and/or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.
