I have a cali king that is almost 3 years old and is only about 30" long. I think his growth is a bit stunted due to inconsistent feeding. Is there anything I can do at this point to get him to increase his growth rate?

Seems your snake is doing fine at 30 inches. What temp. do you keep the snake ?

the temperature ranges from 75 on one side to 90 on the other. Is that ok?

90 sounds high, does it go to the 90 side ?

He doesn't ever hang out for any length of time on the high temp side. When he is not moving around the tank he is almost always in his hide box on the lower side.
