Usually young cal kings are aggressive feeders once established and some will eat regardless of what you do to them during feeding time!!! Top open, top closed, moved to another container, etc. If Ike is eating well, I dont think moving him to a new cage will affect him very much, if at all. It may take him a few days to explore and find his favorite spots, but I have had established feeding snakes take a meal right out of their shipping bags.

As far as the hermit crab decorations, I suggest scrubbing/soaking the driftwood down with a very mild bleach and water solution, rinsing very well, and air drying until completely dry. I would not use the coral as it could be too rough on the snake.

That is quite an attractive cal king by the way. Good luck with Ike. He should give you many years of happiness.
