I don't plan to breed at all, so he can't do away with any of his wives [;)] This will be my first king snake. I already have 2 corns and a JCP all of whom were also rescues. This guy is fully grown and I assume healthy or the SPCA wouldn't be offering him for adoption. He is a Florida King snake. So, any advice for a newbie to kings? I have a 4ft viv free for him but won't be taking him till I move house in July.... Not much point in upsetting him by moving him twice in as many months eh? So I do have some time to learn about any pitfalls and hopefully not fall into them. Do you think the viv will be big enough for life? I can't afford to upgrade at the moment with the move imminent but could in the future if he needed it. I got the 4ft viv as an upgrade for a nervous corn, but she didn't settle in it and is much happier in her smaller viv, so is back living in that one now. From the care sheets I have read, this viv should be big enough, and they are pretty hardy and docile snakes generally speaking. Mind you, one of my corns is a bloody terrorist and my 9ft JCP is an absolute gentle giant, so I am aware that generalities really do not apply when it comes to snakes! Thanks for any advice. I'm sure I'll be back for more once I have Henry VIII and in the meantime will be keeping an eye on other people's topics as I know from experience forums are the very best way to learn about snakes, and this seems like a nice friendly one, which always helps [:p] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
