Our relative humidity is fine for Kings, especially the getula complex. Pyros and Zonatas sometimes need different humidity as they are mountian range snakes and also thrive better in lower temperature ranges as well. The getulas are the easiest to look after and the best feeders. The Pyros and Zonatas can be bit fussier and are known to go off prey items for months at a time.

All in all a good care sheet but quite general to all Lampropletis especially Getulas

p.s. its a good idea to up the humidity to around seventy% when your King is shedding. This will help enable a complete shed

Right, here's the plan. First, we go in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50's each, means we'll miss out on Monday and come up smiling Tuesday morning!

Really good care sheet. I have a hatchling pyro and canot get him to eat at the moment. Is it right that they need cooler temps than other kings? I have him at 80F in warm end and low 70s cool. Is that right? Maybe he is too cool?

Also any idea where I can get "lizard maker"? might give t a go if - worried little snake will waste away....

Couldn't agree more with everything in that care sheet!
