    king snake viv size???
    Ok, so iv decided to get a 3rd snake since my parents gave me the go ahead. Im planning on a king snake that gets up to 5'. What are there tmpermites like and what size in gallons of a viv will i need. One of the sites said a 29 gallon will work. Is that true?

    For a baby, use something like a 10 gallon. An adult kingsnake would be fine in a 20 gallon long tank.

    Wait a few months until it's settled in well and eating regularly. Baby colubrids are normally very nervous snakes. Make sure there's lots of hides.

    lol.. well I am planning on breeding snakes as a business (or out of control hobby, whichever you prefer) so I don't have a set number. :)

    are you particularly interested in one or a couple species for breeding or are you gonna breed all kinds of snakes?

    Yep.. and they certainly aren't making me any money at this point (quite the opposite) so, hobby it is. :D

    thread hijack alert.. my favorite species that I'd like to specialize in are surinam red tails and blood pythons (anacondas have captured my love as well) but.. you know me, I like most snakes.

    Marshall, if you want to ask anything else off topic, do it in PM. :P
