Hi,

I am probably going to get a male 16 inch blairs gray-banded kingsnake within the month. This will be technically be my first snake, although I work with snakes alot at the pet store and help my brother with his maritime garter. Anyway, can you tell me if there is anything wrong with how I am going to set-up the tank:
-35 gallon tank with secure top
-aspen bedding
-some rocks and branches
-a large water dish
-2 hiding places, with one moist when he's shedding
-a temperature of around 80 on the warm side and around 70 on the cool side (heating pad)
I will feed him a hopper mouse every week and handle him whenever he isn't digesting his last meal. Does this sound good? All help will be appreciated, thanks!

Adam Webster
