My other half is getting his first snake, we have researched corns seeing as he had his heart set on a corn snake, however he's seen a goins kingsnake he's fallen in love with so he is getting her tonight.
I have looked about for caresheets but can't seem to find a single one specific to the goins, I found lots for Kingsnakes as whole. So can anyone help with a few things, like how big do they grow? This one is a female one year old, i'm unsure of her size but she comes with a 4' viv, will that be big enough for her whole life? Also she feeds once per week, is that enough (only asking that as caresheets for kings say once or twice per week and i'm not sure if different species of kings have different feeding habits) Also at the risk of sounding stupid we have guinea pigs, would she be a danger to them (obviously i'm not planning on putting the snake in with the guinea pigs, and i'm not planning to have any escapes, I just want to decide where to put the snake and ensure the piggies are protected just incase it did escape, we are locking the viv though so its highly unlikely, just want to cover all angles)
Any help would be much appriciated x
