I got my first snake, a "Desert King".
I was setting up a 10 gallon tank (he's still not fully grown) and after the heating pad heated up, the tank cracked. I have to house the snake for the night, I can get a new tank tomorrow. I have him in a small 1 gallon critter keeper. It's much bigger than the container he came in, and he looks comfortable enough coiled up in the middle. Is there anything wrong with keeping him in there for the night until I can get him into a bigger enclosure tomorrow?
A side note.... This snake is awesome! He doesn't mind being handled at all, and sits still or goes from hand to hand, seemingly content.
Thanks for any advice!
