I watch a lot of herping videos. There is one reptile keeper in Florida that feeds his captive King Cobras pythons caught in the wild. Native Eastern Indigo snakes will also eat smaller ones. Native and non venomous wins my vote. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 0:06, Gregg via pbs<pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: Jim, bite your tongue on that idea!

They were not widely kept for long because of their dietary requirements. Their genus name, Ophiophagus, is from the old Greek words for snake and eating. They are highly specialized snake eaters. What's different now? The ecological disaster which is the proliferation of Burmese pythons in the Everglades provides a readily accessible source of king cobra food. I hope this does not lead some idiot to release king cobras as a biological control.
