Lucy!

[Mrs. Falkner]

I have a small king snake named Lucy! She is about 17 inches long, I just got her about 2 weeks ago and have fallen absolutely in love.

I have her in a 55 gallon tank and I have decorated it in a Halloween theme. I was wondering if anyone else has ever decorated a habitat to match seasons or holidays.

I think you have to have a few posts before uploading pics. We have some very cool king snakes and keepers here! :)

Very nice setup and a beautiful snake! I really like the lego hide you made.You may want to reconsider the repticarpet and go with a different substrate like aspen or cochusk. I've heard that repticarpet can harbor bacteria and most kings really like to burrow underneath their bedding.

She loves her Lego house! The back wall opens up so I dont scare her if I get her out of it. I had aspen in her tank, but she ate a couple pieces and it scared me so I changed to the repticarpet, that is what the guy at Petco told me to do.

I don't put much stock in pet store advice when it comes to reptiles. Do what works for you but I've not heard or read many positive endorsements of repticarpet.

I would switch back to a normal substrate, like aspen. Repticarpet harbors bacteria and SUCKS to clean. Some snakes like to burrow and it helps hold some humidity.

It's ok if they swallow some. I feed in my snake's enclosure, I'm sure she's swallowed some. Never harmed her.

And I agree with El-Ziggy, pet stores can sometimes be sketchy. You never know who you're getting advice from ~_~ One woman at a local store told me that a normal ball python was a rare dwarf boa (even though it said 'ball python' on the enclosure).

Gorgeous snake, though :D

[Lickeypie]

i'd be more worried about her swallowing a lego piece

[sharthun]

I agree as well. I feed mine in their enclosures and they all get a little extra fiber now and then. My snakes are burrowing fools! Very cool setup and gorgeous king!
