Desert King Question

um Jul 14, 2006 03:37 PM

I have been looking into getting a cali king for a long time. Earlier today my friend said a person the works with his dad could get me a free 6ft desert king.I was wandering if their care was the same as a california king? If its not could someone tell me some good care sheets for it?

Their care is going to be the same, BUT if you recieve a 6' desert king I HAVE to see pics. That would be huge Your friend may be exaggerating a bit.

It's also more fun (imho) to get them smaller and watch them grow.

Agreed, I would be very interested in seeing that on a tape measure or widgeted! That would be a biggun'! 4' is purty big for them! Not sayin' it ain't so but like Matt said.....!

Well my friend said that the guy that works with his dad says its 6 ft but my friend is guessing its about 5 and a half. Also would a 30 gallon tank be big enough to house one that big?
