This video is literally exactly what not to do when you get a new snake. You should have an enclosure set up prior to getting your new snake. I can’t imagine not having hides available if I knew I was picking up a snake. King snakes do borrow and they will use several inches of substrate. You should NEVER feed a snake the day it arrives to you you need to give it several days to rest or there’s a high chance of regurgitation. I am begging anyone who happens to see this comment who is getting a snake for the first time this is not the way to do it. Have your enclosure set up in advance so you can regulate the temps for several days and know that your husbandry is on point. Don’t even dream of getting a snake without having an enclosure ready, bare minimum with at least two hides one on the warm side and one on the cool side. The fact that he didn’t even put a toilet paper roll in there to give the Snake something to hide in says a lot.
Also don't give it wet food so it gets caked in substrate before he eats it.
food was way to big also
Like.. if you knew you were getting the snake, why wouldn't you already have the tub/tank/enclosure already set up? Thats like, snake ownership 101. prep for your snake and make sure your husbandry is on point from the get go.
Facts
Honestly
But it’s not rocket science either….
Sooo 😂
It’s to show how….
Not to mention feeding it the day it arrives omg.
I got one a couple days ago from a reptile expo, and he is so calm. Maybe it’s because he is used to being held, but he didn’t try to bite me at all, and he’s super chill when I pick him up. I should be feeding him soon for the very first time!
I just got one from Repticon a couple of days ago too lol
I got my Mexican Black Kingsnake at a reptile expo in Schaumburg, Illinois, and she was pretty chill being held both at home and at the expo center. Just depends on conditions like snake temperament and whether it was held by the breeder a lot.
Update: I ended up getting one about a month after posting this. He’s gorgeous!
Ugh. Still number one on my wishlist. They’re so beautiful.
Do it I just got one
i just got one today 🔥 they are so beautiful in person
Put mine in hot af water because it annoyed me

What’s ur Instagram bro, i got some questions
@@claudiapeter9731 hey! Sorry just seeing this. It’s @thekhalilzoo
Awww! What a cute little boy 🥰 🐍
Indeed he is :)
When you don’t have a hide, toilet/paper towel rolls work great in a pinch. Also, plastic containers from dips or microwave food can be diyed into a hide either temporarily or for extended amounts of time.
Thanks man i might be getting one tomorrow and I'm doing some panic research because im so exitedthis helped thanks
So cool! I have too much respect for snakes as a highly forgetful and easily distracted person lol
Thanks for this :)
wow, thats a beautiful snake!
I got a hatchling kingsnake too it was amazing and an experience I will never forget
They truly are amazing :) DM me a pic!

You should get one! They’re amazing snakes
@@thekhalilzoo1145 I will fo sho man!!🤩
Frick dude that frickin cool
Been looking at getting a King Snake or a Milk Snake soon. I read that they can be a little bitey and this unboxing was a pretty big help on what to expect from a King. Thanks

Ooh enjoy! DM me a pic :)
I'm obsessed witH tHe black kingsnake it's my favorite snake 🐍
⬅️ there's my king snake

Cool snake ...I have a western hognose and a ball python I definitely want a king snake next !
Aww, that's awesome! I definitely want a hognose one day, and I think you should get a kingsnake too
@@thekhalilzoo1145 hey! What breeder did you get this snake from? Please inform me! Thank you
@@christianmartinez5906 Motor City Reptiles
Kingsnakes love to burrow my guy
Beautiful snake, Im thinking about getting a kingsnake or a ball python
Both great pets, especially for beginners. As long as you do your research I'm sure they'll do great for you :)
Great vid buddy
Thank you :)
Where did you get yours?
Waiting for an update, it’s been 8 months!
Nice snake man! I wouldn’t feed him on the substrate though it’s not good for him.
It’s actually pretty ok because they can take a little of substrate like eco earth into their body it would require a lot of substrate to have impaction.
That's so adorable. Hi. Chomp. Nice.
Haha, right?
how does it breathe, being closed to the lid like that during shipment? Doesn’t it need oxygen, air?
The deli cup / container its in has holes.
so cool! Thank you for sharing this experiece with us
Man's hands are d
Shaaaaaking lmao
That’s the love bite. Mine bit me day one
got mine yesterday!! live near a local reptile shop, so i didn't have to wait for it to be shipped! not sure the gender yet as it's still a baby, but i love it :) he escaped the tank yesterday which gave me a heart attack but taught me to keep it secure lol
That’s awesome! DM me a picture :) and I live right by two awesome reptile shops but it actually ended up being cheaper to buy one online, even with shipping for me :P and yeah, mine likes to shoot out of his container the moment I open it 😂
What was your tank setup? Or how did it escape so I know what to do for my new snake that’s coming
@@thekhalilzoo1145 where did u get it?
Nice vid man I want one but I mostly do fish
Thank you! And the good news is reptiles are pretty simple so even if you do get one it won't be some crazy commitment.
@Aiden Erskine thank you I’ll look into it
I really wanna get one of those i wonder if they have worldwide shipping prolly dont but maybe?? ;)
Not sure about that particular Breeder but Mexican Black Kingsnakes are common enough that wherever you are in the world you should most likely be able to get one
@@thekhalilzoo1145 i live in Turkey :( and i think breeding snakes is a little bit illegal.So Mbk is so rare in here.
@@CanTuna If it's illegal then I'm not really sure what to say 😅 There's probably a breeder that does deliver to Turkey though if you keep looking!
"Will bury himself from time to time" haha they bury themselves all the time my dude!
Do they eat small frogs?
wow like this
Thank you :)
I ordered my my mbk from
Mcr in October. Growing like a weed. Mine is a F.
That's awesome! DM me a pic of her :)
What website you recommend for delivery to California.. for one of these?
I have 2 available if your still looking for 1
I bought mine on morph market a month ago.
Is it any size difference between males and females, what is the overall length of them?
males are usually 3-4 feet while females are around 4-5 feet ,hope that helps
Like all snakes females are a bit bigger. MBKs are a smaller growing species of kingsnake so I would say 3-4 feet, depending on the sex.
@@eclair555 mine was the opposite my male got huge and the female stayed smaller. Interesting!
where did you get him from?
MCR (Motor City Reptiles) on Morphmarket
@@thekhalilzoo1145 where did you get that Small mice from??
Where did you order the snake from?
Motor city Reptiles I believe!
I also have one but also a hybird
How did the bite feel?
I mean it's a baby so there was no pain or anything. Honestly pinching my finger hurts more
I really want one
You should get one! They're truly amazing.
I know I am late but on a scale of 1-10 how much do their bites hurt?
It’s not too bad, their bites will probably draw blood but it won’t hurt a lot. It kind of feels like a hard pressure rather than being painful. The worst part is trying to get them to unlatch lmao.
This one didn't hurt at all. Didn't even penetrate the skin. An adult also wouldn't have a bad bite either, although it would penetrate the skin. You'd just bleed a little but that's really it.
A scale as little a zero. As adults a two at least for me.
🙏🏾
where can i buy it online?
They're pretty common to find. I got mine from Motor City Reptiles and had a great experience with them, but there are plenty of others out there as well.
Please someone teach this guy how to use a blade
Little love snek boites 😊❤
i got my girl a month before this video was posted
Omg I’m getting one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
07:07 you spin me right round baby right round...
Snakes have this cool thing called a defense mechanism where if they feel threatened the use the only thing on their body that could possibly defend themselves by biting whatever they feel threatened by in short don't feed them right out of the box make sure you do your research before getting a snake and I don't mean watching CZcams
I want one 😪
MCR is a great company
They are! Great communication and great service
Where can I order a snake like this???
Motor city reptiles has a website
They're not too hard to find. I got mine from Motor City Reptiles on Morphmarket
I’ve ordered a pair of MKS from MCR as well. Will be ready to be bitten four times😉
I have their enclosures ready and have checked with the breeder to be sure to have the appropriate sized pinkies in my freezer.
Haha that’s awesome! I’ve since gotten him some pinkies and he’s been eating like a champ. DM me a pic of your little guys!
@@thekhalilzoo1145 When they arrive I’ll take pic’s of them. Expecting that could be after Jan 1. Shipping with them is a Rhino Rat snake from a friend of Aaron’s.
Im going to ask mom if i can get one and call him dusk
Ooh, that'd be awesome!
@@thekhalilzoo1145 i cannot wait
@@thekhalilzoo1145 do they sell reptiles at "pets at home"?
Make before and after video
New Sub
I appreciate it my dude :)
You should use your index finger go under his middle section lift with ur finger cause if you automatically try to get him he will get defensive thinking u predator
DOES THE BITE HURT ?
Not even a little bit. I wouldn't want to get bitten by an adult but even then it wouldn't be anything too bad.
What???
Since when did they start shipping animals in boxes??
They've been doing it for a long time. Boxes aren't airtight though if that's your concern.
@@thekhalilzoo1145 Never said I was concerned. Was shook at the fact animals came in boxes as I didn't know that.
Kingsnakes are not feisty they are a calm snake most of the time
The small ones can be. And I meant it less in terms of aggression and more in terms of always looking for food
You can a setup a snake
I have a baby boa constrictor and I wanna a Mexican king snake🙃I'm excited ᕕ(՞ᗜ՞)ᕗ
He knows you're not food..it was more than likely defensive because they are constrictors so he would've squeezed first
If it was a defensive bite he wouldn't have held on.
I just got my female from them 😂
She did the same thing
Cover your addy next time brother !
Left his address in the video as a flex to see how nice his house was. Lol
Wait, shit, that was an accident 😂 Where does it show it?
And we moved so it doesn't really matter now
@@thekhalilzoo1145 I swear I'm not a stalker I just noticed and was curious xD. All is well either way.
Be careful bro , your address is there
I might get one because my mom said if we can agree on a pet we can get on
My brother doesn't want a pet so it will be mine and my sibling's pet
[[ My sibling is genderfluid ]]
You know you can call them brother or sister, right?
@@jama3997 I know
Feeding a snake the first day isn't really the best. Especially a food item that's too large which is also wet so it gets caked in substrate.
Brother try to not leave your address in your videos
Did this guy die? Bro has only 4 vids and just gave up
Cool you just need a female now
Block your address next time!! Or blur it
so no hide, wrong sized mouse, fed on substrate(ie impaction risk), clearly didnt wash hands as it kept biting you.........otherwise great video 😉
You shouldn't handle your snake right after getting it. It needs time in it's enclosure to settle down. Also you should have your enclosure set up before the animal arrives so you can move it directly into the enclosure. If you want to educate people please educate yourself first.
L video
Well that's annoying the biting
