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.

wow, ok. so ill just throw a divider in it. how long tell it can go in the whole thing?

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.

ok, and also shelby, how much snake do you pan on geting??? last time i saw it it was 22 and now 24. your hella lucky!!!!

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. :)

i see. i kinda like the out of control hobby one. sounds better, lol

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

ooh, sorry. i was just curious.
