Kingsnakes do 2 things. They seek the perfect temperature and the perfect humidity.
Did you know that snakes rarely drink in nature?
Did you know that they constantly seek a way to conserve enerygy and avoid dehydration?
Did you know it is not natural for a captive snake to rely on drinking everyday and providing a water bowl is not neccessary IF they are given choices on humidity? Matter of fact they rarely drink if one can provide humidity options.
Do you know why snakes curl up in tight moist places?
Did you know that most captive kings are in a conStant dehydrated condition in captivity? (However, doesn't mean they can't survive like this for years. But how cruel!)
Now do you really still think it's a good idea to use a ceramic heating element in a small box to dry everything out?
Do you beleive because pet shops sell them,and that they come in neat bubble wrap packages with pics of a snake on it they must know what a snake needs? Do you really beleive all that?
Get and undertank heat pad. THAT'S ALL THE SNAKE NEEDS TO CHOOSE WARM AND CHOOSE COLD.
