Whats best?

I am going to get a mex kingsnake, but first I have to decide what to house it in.

I was thinking a 33-40 gal glass aquarium, but would an actual enclosure be better? One with sliding glass doors at the front and all that fun stuff. What would be best for the snake, and easier on my wallet? I want to get the best snake I can, but I'm not up to dishing out a lot of cash for a snake house.

Thanks

get a good enclosure as well

Yes everyone wants the best snake possible but you really have to make sure it has the best enclosure possible or at least the proper enclosure by that I mean heat gradiant and hidesnot the actual container. Just because it works doesn't mean it has to be expensive either. Please make sure if you are getting the best snake you can to take care of it the best you can.

Good luck and ask any specifics you desire as there is plenty of useful opinions on here

for a milksnake a glass aquarium is fine they dont need extreme humidity etc, so i think that would be perfect

Best Bet

I,d go with a Glass Aqaurium there easy to keep clean, provide a good safe home (get a lid that locks) damn escape artists.lmao
Im still looking for my desert phase king .lol
And they provide a easy clear view of your new pet.
Best of luck with your choice

Yea I've currently got some aquariums with lids, not near big enough though (they are housing little lizards). 33gal big enough for a Mex Black Kingsnake, or should I go for the 40? Wouldn't want my new pet to be cramped or anything.

Thanks for your help
Kathy
