Your Questions Answered
What is the expected adult size for this snake?
California Kingsnakes typically reach 3 to 4 feet in length as adults. This Hi-White Jungle female will follow that range, making her a manageable size for a standard 40-gallon breeder or similar enclosure as an adult.
How is the snake’s feeding response?
This specimen has a strong and reliable feeding response on frozen/thawed rodents. We recommend starting with pinky or fuzzy mice sized appropriately for her current girth and adjusting as she grows.
What are the primary care requirements?
Provide a secure enclosure with a thermal gradient (a warm side around 85°F and a cool side in the mid-70s), a humid hide for shedding, and fresh water. Substrate can be aspen shavings, cypress mulch, or paper-based bedding. They are primarily terrestrial but will appreciate low branches or hides.
