Expert Profile: Andrew King

Expertise: I can answer general questions on most species of snake and have deeper knowledge with caring and taming of Common/Red tail Boas, Royal 'Ball' Pythons and Corn Snakes. including, feeding, housing - temperatures, substrate, tank size, layout etc. - and common illnesses, their symptoms, causes and treatments. I am not too familiar with any venomous snakes so am probably unable to answer questions regarding them.

I own and have owned several snakes: Male Common Boa, Female Guyanan Red Tail Boa, Royal 'Ball' Python, and a Carolina Corn Snake. i have worked in an exotic pet shop, selling hundreds of different snakes from anaconda's to rattlesnakes for the past year or so.
