    I got a new florida kingsnake today she/he is about 2 months old, that is all they told me, that and she/he last ate on wednesday. I can't find a care sheet on florida kingsnakes, I was wondering if anyone knew the temps her viv should be kept at since she is so small (only maybe 12 inches) and how often she should eat. Any help would be great!! Thank you.

    Care for a Florida King is pretty much like a Cali King. The ambient temperature (cool side) should be no lower than 70º F with a basking spot of 85º-90º F. At that age, feed him/her every 5 to 7 days. As it gets older, every 7 to 10 days will be fine. If you want to do more research (which is always a good idea :) ) you can use California Kingsnake care sheets.
