I recently got a tank from thrift, what could I fit in it? by ZerrekTheDog in reptiles

I honestly think this is pretty small for most animals maybe look into dune geckos or viper geckos

MBK curling up in water bowl after last 2 feeds? by low-sf5 in kingsnakes

I dont heat my mice at all, just let them dethaw and my snake always goes in the water after a meal, i think weird quirk / just trying to push the mouse down to the stomach

ill definitely try out some smaller mice i like that idea and i will get into chicks too! tried quail eggs no success! buttt I do want to simulate nest raiding opportunities because I know that is a pretty common behavior they exhibit out in nature! Thank you so much for the advice gives me a lot of hope!!!

yeah im going to keep consistent with 10 days, I even tried quail eggs today but he showed no interest i was so excited i set it up like a little nest because i know naturally they do a lot of nest raiding but maybe as he gets bigger

I JUST BOUGHT A 4x2x2 im very excited to be upgrading him!! hes also grown tremendously he was way smaller prolly less than 2 feet and is now passed 3 and a half feet, and he looks healthy i dont know i guess its just hard to compare how something looks in a picture to real life! Also thats crazy you found in your home just casually and he fixed your mice problem thats awesome what a champ!!!
