Okay, thanks a lot. The male got so extremely aggressive yesterday (struck 5 times) so I separated them immediately. I was wondering though, I have a 240 litre tank for the male alone now. I've read some places that they should be kept in a smaller tank when young, but I was kinda hoping he would do fine in the big one, because then he would grow up in it and get used to it, and it would save me the enormous expense of continuously buying new tanks. (This is norway. It's insanely expensive. One pinkie costs nearly $2)
The female is completely docile, and I handled her for a long time yesterday, with no signs of aggression at all, not even a flicker of the tail.
So I absolutely need to remove the heating rock? It's not that warm, it just feels slightly warm to the touch. It said on the package it came in that it was fitting for kingsnakes, too. I don't know, I'm the newbie..
So no sand either? I use the sand because I figure the snake will feel more comfy in it, and of course because it looks a lot better. For security, I do have a top on the tank, they've crept out of certain air hatches, but I've "patched" them up, and I even saw him try to escape and fail.
I really appreciate the help here, I'll go home and figure out what to do know. Take care.
