Hi all. Just a quick question about my MBK. I'm changing his viv soon-ish to a bigger one than he's in currently, he's going from a 3ftx 2ft x 2ft to a 4ft x 2 1/2ft x 3ft. The reason for the move is that I previously had 2 corns in the larger viv, but one of them has since died and the 4ft is way too big for the corn that's left. My question is, is this viv appropriately sized for a MBK (he's about 4ft and a bit, plus he's a tad overweight [I've cut his feeding down and made him do more excercise, other than climbing on the bloomin light all the time]) and what temperature should I be looking at having the viv?

Thanks for any and all advice.

Hi Skorsis,

A 4' viv is the max that you would want to use for a king but I'm sure he will be very happy in there. As for temps and general advice take a look at this care sheet. It should cover most of your questions but if you have any more then feel free to ask
