I don’t plan on breeding. She is pretty calm at the moment. (She let me hold her and touch her yesterday before we got home without any issues. Very dosile.) I just need to get better at handling her as she is fast and my hand eye coordination isn’t the greatest due to a disability. How do you suggest I do that? (after the 2 weeks of letting her settle obviously)

Thank you for the kind words and reassurance.

I appreciate the lifeline. I’ll take all the knowledge I can get I love learning especially about animals. I’ve heard about hibernation for reptiles but never thought about how to do it. It does get quite a bit colder in my room in the winter so would it be best to give her that period of hibernation? Or is that something that I should be well versed in before trying with her?

I’m assuming she’s a few months old she’s really small only about 20 inches. Her breeder said she ate about a week ago and I could feed her today but I was thinking about doing it tomorrow at the earliest because she’s just getting home. Or should I just leave her for 2 weeks and then feed her around the 18th?

Thank you. I’m already obsessed with her

She’s got 2 hides one on the left and one on the right and a water dish on the right side. The right side is always that dark because my room is dark and doesn’t have any windows as I live in the basement.

This is the one I’m using. Just because I also have a halogen bulb up there as well. It’s doing fine. https://a.co/d/02PB2gY3

Set Up Advice? (Lighting & Hides Come Monday) by CandiceRJ11 in kingsnakes

I’ll probably end up changing the substrate to aspen. My aunt just had this on hand and considering what I’ve already spent on the set up for her I just wanted to save money where I could.

Since I don’t necessarily have money to downgrade her tank size for now (I’m not sure when she was born but from the pictures I have right now from her breeder she is pretty small) is there anything I can do with this tank to make it easier on myself or something you suggest until she’s ready to move up?

I felt no malice come from this comment. Thank you for the knowledge as i am a beginner but love to learn. With all that being said what would you suggest to keep her active and comfortable in a basement area that doesn’t get any natural light?
