    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.

    Re: king snake viv size???

    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.

    Re: king snake viv size???

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

    Re: king snake viv size???

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

    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.
