I have a king snake, not sure what morph. I got about 3 days ago from a friend. The snake is 6 years old and my friend had it for 2 years, (he got it from another friend).The snake has always been fed in the cage, and has never bit the previous owner. I know I'm supposed to pick it up by the middle of it's body, move slowly, and not squeeze, but I'm still nervous about picking it up, is there anything i should know before I scoop it up?
