thanks J... I believe that it is a regular 60 gallon aquarium that they have him in... her hubby has built some sort of "cave" something where there is like a false bottom in the tank and that leaves some room for the snake to hide under there... does that make sense... I know that is where the dreaded heat rock is when it is cooler here... they have that on (and I have warned her several times about that already) and keep him in the garage when it isn't summer. She swears that the snake kills all 5 mice first and then goes back for them... I don't believe it... but there doesn't seem to be anything that I can do [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] I have tried to get her to start buying frozen for 2 reasons -1- health of the animal -2- cost... she won't go for that though...says that the snake is "to used to feeding on live" that it wouldn't go for something that was dead before he got to it... UGH! They have fed it snakes, and I know in the wild that would be alright, or if the snake was CB and the food item snake was CB that it would be alright... but this isn't the case... I don't know if their king snake is CB or not...but they feed it wild caught snakes out of their yard... just pick them on up, and throw them on in... UGH!
Frustrates me to no end! Can't wait to be out of here!
and Eddie you are right... a rescue may be necessary... but I feel that I would be to late if I did find out some action was needed [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]
btw-- I wasn't sure about the night time temp... just thought I would mention it since it seemed pretty low to me... but then again... I am not really familiar with the care of colubrids [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Thank you all!
