Water Blister on California Kingsnake

[Ariel]

I just wanted to share this...
When I first got my california king snake female "Claymore" I realized she had a large lump on her size. Under the advice of my mom (who's a Vet. Tech. who specializes in Reptiles) it likely wasn't anything to bad if she still eats, acts, and sheds fine. She did all of these things, and was an exceedingy great snake, but still the lump unnerved me, so I started to do some research.

I eventually narrowed it down to a water blister, I took her into the vet who mirrored my suspicion, so I treated it as such, changing her bedding to dry paper towels and switching out her larger soaking water dish, to a small one she couldn't fit in. After two weeks....

I'm really into both my Ts and reptiles at this point, I'd start swaying one way or the other, than someone would do something to balance the scale out again. lol.

My MBK and my texas rat snake rattle their tales quite a bit when disturbed, but this girl has always been a doll, I think she's only done it once to me, when I really startled her.

I've been thinking of getting a Cali King Snake, Ariel. What do I need to know about creating an ideal set-up for one?
