I will be building a cage for my sons California King and was hoping someone could give me an idea as to the size I should build. The snake is only a year or so old and about 30 inhes but want to build something that would be ok when it's an adult. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've never had any kings but I believe a California King would have close to the same caging requirements as a corn snake. I've had many a corn snake.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Ideally, I believe something within 36" - 48" (L) x 18" - 24" (W) x 12" - 18" (H). I'd say an acceptable size for an adult would be 30" x 12" x 12".

Have you read through the kingsnake forum? Maybe even post this question there for more specific input.

Take care!
Mike

If I was going to build a cage for a king it would probobly be 36Lx20Wx16T or somwhere in that ballpark. Somtimes I'll change plans a bit depending on what I can get out of a sheet of material.
I'm sure you could go skinnier and shorter with no problems but thats about the size I'd do.

Thanks for the help. I was originally thinking 48"x 24"x 24" so i was in the ballpark. i think I will go 48" x 18'x 18" Thanks again.
