Can you get king snakes out after they have been fed?
Depends. The general rule of thumb is that a pet snake should be given 48 hours to digest their meal(s). If they are handled before that time is up, the snake may regurgitate the food. This is natural: in the wild, if a snake is attacked by a predator soon after eating a meal, they puke up the food in order to be able to escape quickly. If the snake is an adult, handled regularly, very docile, and used to the handler, it should be OK to handle it within 48 hours. This should never be attempted with a baby snake, as they are usually not used to being handled and will most likely vomit on the handler, which is not fun to clean up, trust me :)! I have a pet snake that allows me to handle him an hour after feeding without incident. So, it all depends on how tame and docile the snake is.

How long can you hold your king snake?
It depends on the invidividual snake, how long they are willing to be handled. I advise you handle your snake at least every other day, for about 30 minutes, to keep it tame and used to being handled. Personally, I hold my king snake for several hours, almost every snake. If the snake is tired of being held, you should be able to tell, as the snake will become agitated and crabby. Some may even strike/bite if they get tired of being held. Like I said, it really depends on the snake. Snakes are very different, and even snakes of the same species, coloration, gender, age, and size can have completely opposite personalities.

When buying a snake what should i look for when buying a snake?
You should check to see how big of a snake you will want when it is full grown. Check to see how big the food will end up having to be when the snake is full grown. What kind of temperatures it will need. How hardy it is. How long it lives. If it can be housed with other snakes. How often to feed it. What kind of habitat it needs. If it needs vet care. How to handle it. I recommend cornsnakes for beginners. I have 3 and they are awesome.
Is it bad to handle a snake with gardening gloves on?
Only if the gloves aren't clean ! There's no telling what chemicals may be on them. On the other hand (no pun intended) if you have a particularly aggressive snake, that's not used to being handled, using gardening gloves will lessen the chance of the snakes teeth biting into your hand. Most snakes quickly become accustomed to being handled - then you can discard the gloves.
