I have a albino cali king, I managed to get him really tame with no major problems, I then upgraded his viv to a larger size, he started biting again so I moved him back to his smaller one thinking he was possibly a little bit scared in the larger viv is this the right thing to do. the new viv is 3ft by 2ft and my king is about 2ft long. I am hoping he will calm down now hes back in his original enviroment where he feels safer
move to general from off king by GP |

i think it sounds like it was probably the move to the bigger viv..........
using the guide of 'width + depth of viv = maximum length of snake' your 3ft x 2ft is suitable for a 5ft snake........ quite a big viv for a 2ft cali  |

the old viv is (46 x 30 x 17 cm)
the new viv is 36 x 15 x 15 inchOak Vivarium
its quite a difference, i have heard putting a partition in the big viv might help what would be the best way of doing that? |

| I partitioned a 6 foot viv just by getting a piece of chipboard cut the right size at B&Q and then screwing it in place. Other people may have done it differently but it worked for me |

| yeah a partition/divider should work fine, then just move it along to make the space bigger when required |

We are in the same situation with Tempo- he's just gone up to his first real viv from a faun and he's gone crazy bitey! It's the right size for him though so we are sticking to our guns. 
A partition should work well for you |

| They do seem to go bit psyco with extra space!...Kinda like a "This is mine, so back off" response. Would probably settle back again with time! |
Lots of Milks!! Few Royals, corns, Rosie Boas and Childrens Pythons. One Bci, and one Irian Jaya Carpet! |
