Can I keep it in a cage?
The Raven's Aviary - Close Encounters of the Corvid KindThe metal bars of a cage can seriously damage a bird's feathers as it grows older, and needs to stretch out its wings. If the wingfeathers keep breaking off against the bars, the bird may not learn to fly properly, or not have the plumage to fly effectively. Besides, wild birds don't belong behind bars. If you have to have a cage, make it a large one - several feet wide and more than 3 feet tall, so the bird has room to move and exercise as it grows.

One should make every attempt to house Kingsnakes separately except when attempting to breed them.
