Here is my situation. I keep Eastern and Speckled kings. I prefer to keep them alone because it allows me to keep track of them and peace of mind too although I am not opposed to keeping more than one animal together. I don't provide heat because they have done so well without it. I don't have the ability to provide temps in the 50's so I keep them at room temp (70's to 80's) and they have done well. Should I provide a hot spot with a UTH? Will that be enough?
I feed weekly once again as a matter of convenience as I am traveling a lot. I would like to know how much should I feed them? And how often. As hatchlings to juveniles I fed them one item every other day. As long as they were not in shed they ate and grew fast. In the winter I don't feed them. I keep them down lower where it is cooler and darker and just make sure the cages are clean. I keep them in tubs now but plan on using cages in the future. I have never bred them because of my schedule (never attempted it).
I want my kings happy and healthy. I do plan on some breeding but it is not that important. First and foremost is long healthy lives.

Thanks,
Dan
