Thayer's kingsnake is typically non-aggressive[2] and reclusive and does well in captivity. Thayer's kingsnake requires a hiding place at all times and often prefers to hide in such.[2] DietThayer's kingsnake kills its prey by constriction and prefers a diet of lizards in the wild although they have been known to feed on rodents, frogs and other snakes.[4] In captivity, Thayer's kingsnakes can be weaned onto rodents as their main food source. ReproductionThayer's kingsnakes are oviparous typically laying between six–14 eggs up to twice per year.[5] Like many other colubrids, Thayer's kingsnakes usually mate in early spring following a winter cooling period.
