I may have to join the King snake site, but thought I'd ask on here for advice first
Looking at possibly offering a home to a small milk snake from a rehoming site - waiting for photos and more info on type, but is going to be one of the smaller species (probably Peublan) as I want my vivexotic vx24 to be it's final home.
Can these be kept on a mat and stat?
Any advice from keepers would be appreciated

Oooooh good luck Blackcat - it's so exciting getting new snakes lol! Surely they must be OK on a mat as they are slender snakes? I didn't realise some were small enough that a 2ft could be a final home.

I think a mat and stat is fine from research.
I didn't either until I approached my local rescue place asking if they ever got house snakes or hoggies in and they suggested a few others which could be in my vx24 as a final home.(smaller kings and milks)
They currently have a 6month milk in which needs rehoming - just waiting on photos and more info

Very similar to corn care really, mat and stat is fine. Pueblans are ok in 2fts but depends on the individual, stick to the rule of width + length = length of snake. I'm hoping my won't get much bigger than 3ft, Pueblans are one of the smaller milks.

The rehoming centre know I want something which can be in my vx24 permanently, but did say I would possibly rehome a juvenile corn in it and then get it a 3' viv - but that doesn't solve the issue of homing something permanently in the vx24.
Luckily the vx24 is virtually 2' x 2' so a Peublan should be ok in it
