Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So I bought a 2 year old Grey Banded Kingsnake a month ago. He's great and I love him, but I have a couple questions.

He eats fuzzy mice right now once a week. When should I feed him more amd how much?

How do I know when he's fully mature?

Best substrate?

When winter comes, should I cool him for a little bit?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to fauna and congrats on you're grey band! He should be able to eat a couple small mice at a time. I think he should be full grown after 4-5 years and sexually mature at 3-4 years. Shredded aspen works fine , is cheap, and readily available. No need to cool him unless you plan on breeding him. That said he will probably not eat that much during the fall/ winter anyways.
