                       Hi everyone...
  I'm the proud owner of a 3 month old King snake, am due to pick her up this evening! I'm not sure where to post this question so will ask here...any help or advice would be great! My vivarium is reading 24.3 temp wise at the cool end and 29.6 at the end where the heat mat is. Does this sound about right?? I wont' get my new snake until I am sure these are the right temperatures, there is allot of conflicting advice about and I want to make sure I have created the perfect environment for her.
  Thank you in advance!! xxx |

                       I keep my kings at low 20's on cold end (basically room temp) and 30-33 hot end so your temps aren't bad. I'd keep an eye that your cold end doesn't get any hotter though.
  We will need lots of pictures once you get your king
