Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Housing for California King Snake
I just changed her tank a few days ago. I use to have the wood chips and just the log. I added the plant with a branch and put down the reptile carpet, she is much more active now with something to crawl around on, but the only thing I need to figure out is what I can use for a hiding spot on the cool side. The last thing I need to know is what is the best way to feed her because I wanna start feeding her in the tank now. I plan to drop the mice in the front, left corner when she isnt looking, would that be ok?

Cage looks nice but...
Do not start feeding it in it's living cage, always feed in another cage, the reason is they will asociate you with being fed so every time you want to go in and get it to take it out you may very well be struck and and bit when done so. it will think every time you go in it is being fed. Always a great idea to feed in another container. You can also put some climbing branches in there if you like, some do like to climb. They sell all sorts of cool looking caves, some look like real rocks some like trees you can use those for great hide spots. With the cage carpet make sure you take it out often and clean it off since there is nothing for the urin to soak into you do not want her to keep slithering back through it. Just clean it off with soap and water but do not put it back in wet dry it off first. Hope this helps but definatly don't feed her in the same cage she lives in.

No kidding on not feeding in the same cage it lives in!! I made the mistake of doing this with my Cal. King, and if I so much as touch the lid to his cage, he's surfing the top, waiting to tag the first thing that enters. It's pretty embarrassing to have to wear gloves or use a hook to get a 2-2.5 ft. kingsnake out....

Did you switch it back to feeding it in another conatiner, if so it should tame back down after a few feedings or so. They learn pretty fast as to where they are fed at!

Nah, I've never bothered. Once he's out, he's calm (for a cal king...) and I really don't handle him unless I'm cleaning his cage or doing maintainance. I have an 18 month old baby so I really don't have time to work with any of my critters--which most appreciate I'm sure!!
I'm sure the bite wouldn't actually hurt, I just have a bad jump reflex, and I'm more afraid I would hurt him than anything.

I feed mine in their enclosure, no problems at all. I take them out a lot too so they dont think they are being fed until they see the brown bag, then they get excited. My female also sees the mouse though the glass and pulls her head up with her mouth gaping sometimes. When I pull them out, however, Ive never had a problem.

I feed all 25 of my kings in their cages, they are all fine except one male who is always ready for food. I have never had a'' feeding cage'' for any of my snakes, its just a personal preference.
