The only zoo zone I could find that matched anything you listed, was close to $100. And it was 39"L X 20"W X 7.75"H. It would probably be ok as long as you wanted to spend that much money. I personally would rather spend the $30 dollars for a 20L tank, another $20 for the screen top and clips and save $50. That is the setup I use, and it works great.

Just about any petstore, and even some Wal-Marts will carry the 20L. They should run right around $30. Any more than that and your getting ripped off. I have seen the 10 gal in Wal-mart for $8 and the 20L for $18 or $20. They dont seem to last long though, and the pet stores usually keep them in stock.

You could go even cheaper and use a plastic storage box. Alot of people use those. But if you want something that is aesthetically more appealing, then a tank or the zoo zone would the choice.
Hope this helps

But if you have your heart set on it, then as long as the snake cannot escape from it, it should be ok.


:I was reading an ad for the Hagen "ZooZone" large Critter Cage, and I was wondering if it is a suitable cage for a California Kingsnake. The size is listed as 39.25"x20"x14.5" which seems like a suitable size for an adult California Kingsnake, but does anyone here have any experience with this cage? Is it easy to escape from? Easy to clean? Any ideas, or information would be welcome. I kind of like the idea that it's plastic and so will be lighter than a glass cage, but I have no experience with it, and if I get one I will have to mail-order it as no shop here that I know carries it, so I will have to buy it based on the picture in the ad unless anyone has any insights to offer.
