All snakes are carnivores, King Snakes and Milk Snakes are also cannibals and will kill and eat most other snakes so it is best to keep one per enclosure. The common Scarlet King mimicks Coral Snakes, being non-venomous this is their best defense against predators when combined with "tail-ratting". Captive King's can be maintained on a diet of mice and when/if large enough appropiately sized rats. In the wild hatchlings usually start off eating lizards or frogs and progress to rodents and depending on the area Rattlesnakes and Coral Snakes. If you decide you want to keep one as a pet, request to see the snake feed, a good dealer will not deny your request. A snake that doesn't feed especially a King usually signifies the snake is wild-caught and not acclimated to captivity, wild caught snakes are usually riddled with parasites like mitesand ticks. Hope this helps, they make awesome pets.
