Can a king snake kill a rattlesnake?

King snakes are essentially constrictors, which kill their prey by suffocating them. The modus operandi of a king snake is to first bite the victim ( a rattle snake) and then rapidly throw coils around the anterior body of the rattle snake, tightening them continuously so that the rattle snake is not able to breathe. The king snake maintains this tight coil until the rattler is dead. It then releass the coil, uses its forked tongue (and Jacobson's organ) to find the rattler's head and proceeds to swallow the prey. During this process, even if the king snake is bitten by the rattler, it does not matter as the king snake is immune to the venom of its prey.

Is it ok to feed snake pregnant mouse?

I had a hungry Ball Python and I dropped a mouse in with it and it wouldn't touch it. The next morning the mouse gave birth and my ball python still wouldn't go near it. Tonight I tried to feed my king snake a mouse and my snake ignored it, even after I trapped the mouse within inches from my snake.
