Kingsnake enclosure upgrade

Scarey2243 · 03-24-19, 09:38 AM

I am thinking about getting a kingsnake (California or Speckled) and I currently have a 20 long I could house them in but I know that they may outgrow it. I was just wondering how long that would take and what the most comfortable size enclosure for a full grown adult would be.

Not sure about the species you mention, but my Brooks kingsnake Would have been fine in a 20 long for a year or so. His adult sized cage is 42" x 24" x 24". It's adequate. He uses every inch of it & would happily make use of even more space for a while every day. Right now he's about 3 year old and 44" long.

My adult Cal King is in a 4x2x2 and uses every inch.
He's about 52" and I can't imagine him in anything smaller.

Like the others, my Florid King is in a 4'x2' and uses every bit of it. She was a fast grower.
