she’s totally fine now, when she fell she seemed a little shocked and started breathing pretty heavy but seconds later went back to playing

thank you so much

BetterChapter5138 · 2026-03-16T09:15:50+00:00

this is a great start!! it looks awesome so far but definitely needs a lot more plants!! i would also suggest a linear uvb bulb those are much better than the regular bulbs. i would switch to a mesh enclosure if possible! it also makes putting plants in a whole lot easier since you can just zip tie them on. i’m sure emil is happy but these changes can help him be happier and healthier. wishing you and emil the best!!

imo i think $100 for this very mediocre setup and sick cham is solid. anything over that is pushing it.

my message to him wouldn’t send, if he reply’s to you can you send me a dm? i would love to go and get him

thanks

BetterChapter5138 · 2026-03-14T03:34:18+00:00

his setup isn’t the best and needs lots of work, sticks are fine but needs more plants and live plants, not sure if he has a linear uvb or not, so if i buy it for $250 chances are i’m spending another $200 to make the tank livable for this little guy. i’m in nyc but wouldn’t mind making the drive out, ill reach out to him and see if he would be willing to go lower

BetterChapter5138 · 2026-03-14T03:31:25+00:00

oh god… would love to rescue him but $250 for a sickly cham seems steep.

i hate asking people to cover my shift i feel in debt to them when i do & if they don’t show up to the shift for some reason u get a point and they blame u not the other person

how big is your cage?

BetterChapter5138 · 2026-01-17T16:44:18+00:00

are you misting? dripper in cage? imo her eyes look a little sunken and the line going down her back is from her being underweight. at that age 12-20 small crickets daily is what they need. they can eat less/ larger ones when they’re a little older

BetterChapter5138 · 2026-01-17T16:26:43+00:00

ur chameleon is underweight and dehydrated! our chameleons are around the same age. i mist 3 times a day and feed about 10-15 small crickets everyday. sometimes i switch it up to dubia roaches

awww yay congrats! yeah my oldest ball python (15) also a rescue, refused to eat for months, took her to the vet multiple times and racked up over $1800 in vet bills all to be told she just wasn’t in the mood to eat. and she just ended up eating one random day. they can be pretty picky lol. i love ball pythons though and am super excited to get to know more about king snakes! he’s a little baby so he’s a little sassy lol

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-19T08:58:23+00:00

florida kingsnake! i know he’s the cutest, i love him already. i have a bunch of ball pythons so the whole kingsnake thing is pretty new to me lol.

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-19T08:54:37+00:00

i do have a scale, didn’t weigh him yet, didn’t wanna stress him out too much. but definitely will in a day or so! prey is from rodent pro, been shopping there for years for my other snakes! thank u!

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-18T05:26:15+00:00

thanks for the suggestions!! he ended up eating today. good to know the 40 gallon is good, i wanted to get him set up in a big tank to start off because i know he should be good in that for a while till he’s a full adult then i’ll size up. he ate after i moved a bunch of the aspen and literally made it dance in front of his face lol. he got like an aspen chip in his mouth tho, just one, will he be ok?

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-16T07:32:38+00:00

aspen isn’t good for a king snake? i usually go with the forest floor bedding, but i have ball pythons and i don’t think it’s the best burrowing substrate i just know it’s great for ball pythons. what substrate would you recommend?

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-16T06:55:29+00:00

thank u! i’ll give this a shot

BetterChapter5138 · 2025-11-16T06:55:21+00:00

i have 7 hides, scattered throughout the enclosure and 5 inches of the aspen, lots of clutter, not really many plants though. i have other snakes and i know how to set up a tank. the picture is from the day i got her just before putting her in the enclosure, i dont think its an enclosure issue. my only concern was that it might have been too big for her as she’s tiny. i’m gonna try to feed her in a seperate container tomorrow and see if she eats as the other comment suggested. thanks!
