Nice Cali, I love the black and white desert phase.
In the wild, all Cal kings use burrows or other cover where the microclimate is stable and slightly humid but mostly dry to the touch. When using a cage with a screen top, soil is a perfect substrate. Best of luck with the snake. Be sure to do a follow up!

Thanks. I was just thinking about an update video for him.

The quickest way to reason why bulbs/above heating is better..
Mats will not heat the air, so the second the snake leaves the mat/climbs off it will be subject to whatever temps the ambient is.
Above lighting ensures controllable humidity, and a far better gradient of real penetrating heat from one side, gradually cooling the further away from the light/heat source you go

I’m slowly switching all of my snakes to mercury vapor bulbs for heat and uvb. But it’s not cheap so one at a time for now.

Can we have another update on Rex? I would love to own a cali king as my first snake.

I just took Rex out for some handling time and he was really relaxed and happy about it. I’ll put an update on him on my to do list. 😀

Is female bigger than male

[@WonderfulWorldReptiles]

females can tend to be a little bigger then males. I’d expect most males to be 3 to 4 feet and females to be 4 to 5, possibly 6 feet.
