Hello!

I am new to Kingsnake and to leos, so hi everybody!

We just received 12 leos last weekend and have put them all into their own individual shoe box enclosures: 12 x 6 . My question is when can/should I move them into their bigger permanent homes: 30 X 12 sweater boxes? We are going to put the females in together in pairs; the males will get their own. I was planning on putting them in after feeding on Thursday but wanted to get some input first.

We have a lot of experience breeding boas, and I am working on the "they will get acclimated better and will feel more comfortable in a smaller space," but I also don't want them to feel cramped. We put in a hide with them last night along with their water bowl.

Thank you for any advice! I look forward to posting and reading here often!

Susan
