These snakes can be kept in a small enclosure when they are young, but may grow up to be 4–5 feet long, or bigger. For this reason, you should probably get a nice roomy enclosure for your king snake when it starts to get larger, as they are active and will use the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"2e94\" class=\"hl hm fv hn b ho if hp hq hr ig hs ht hu ih hv hw hx ii hy hz ia ij ib ic ie dn gs\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeeding a larger enclosure may seem like a downside for a beginner, but having a snake as active as a king will mean your snake will be a joy to watch when exploring its environment.

They need a 40-gallon tank as an adult, but as babies will do just fine in a 20-gallon. You’ll need a hide with a heat pad (not a lamp, remember, belly heat!) and a bowl with fresh water. Also make sure to include a humid hide, and monitor your snake’s humidity levels.
