Posted by: RossPadilla at Tue May 1 14:42:17 2012 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by RossPadilla ] Your set up is all wrong for a kingsnake. I would get rid of the light bulbs as a source for heat. Get an under tank heat pad, preferably with a built in thermostat and set it on one end of the cage (not under the entire cage) at around 85º. The reason for that is because the light bulbs will dry out the the snake. Even if it has water, I don't think its a good idea to put the snakes body through that kind of stress longer that what they would experience in nature. In nature they do expose them selves to dry conditions sometimes, but they have a choice to get out any time they want. In captivity, they don't. On top of that, an albino is much more sensitive to the light, causing stress. Any kind of breeze or draft is also a no no for any reptile. The cool side should not be over 80º if you can help it. You could also place a dark container with moist (not wet) Sphagnum moss to act as a humidity chamber for the snake to go in whenever it wants. Turn off the heat if it gets really hot in your house during the Summer. That would a good basic way to keep your kingsnake in the long run. | ||
