Re: need some suggestions
Congrats.. cali kings are tons of fun! Go to walmart and get a 99 cent shoebox, then go to the office store and get a package of binder clips (large is usually good) use four to clamp the lid down (one on each side.. you can also clamp corners in addition if the lid is flimsy)
I have raised a number of tiny colubrids in shoeboxes with a quota of '0' escapes.
Re: need some suggestions
Plastic shoe boxes work good, I personally dont use them because the one time I did for a female gopher snake I had, she escaped. I would personally just use a 10 gallon with a secure cover but thats me.
Re: need some suggestions
we use a 10 for our milksnake with a locking lid make shure you have a lid that locks and keep some extra weight or even a lock on it.
