Hey guys,
i've been lurking the past few weeks, up until making my deicision on buying a kingsnake. so on saturday i took home my baby. he's an axantic florida kingsnake. but i have a few question for any of you kingsnake owners.

1) when it come to handling a new snake, are kingsnakes as stressed by it as bp's are? is handling my little guy once a day too much on him?

2) also, i noticed that his eyes have gone blue. I think he's ready to shed. I put misted spaghnum moss in a small coffee can with a hole cut in the top, will this suffice?

3) my temps read 90 hot side and 80 on the cold side. is this suitable? my ceramic heating element is on a dimmer, should i dim it for night?

thanks for any advice, and i can't wait to post pics...will get those soon def. after shed at least
