Snakes, like all reptiles, are cold-blooded and need a heating source to regulate their body temperature. Stir the substrate at least once a week and change the bedding entirely at least once a month.Ĭlimate control is crucial to the health of your snake, who may suffer digestion problems if the temperature isn’t suitable. Spot clean the bedding often to remove droppings.
Aspen & cypress shavings are a natural, odorless reptile substrate that snakes can tunnel through it as they’d do in the wild. Layer the bottom of the habitat with bedding (also called substrate) that your new pet can burrow into. Snakes are excellent escape artists, so make sure the lid is very secure-it should include a latch. Top the tank with a screened lid for ventilation.
The general rule for most snakes is that their habitat should be at least 2/3 the size of their body. King snakes, rosy boas, corn snakes and milk snakes, on the other hand, might only need a 20-gallon (75 liters) snake habitat to be happy. For example, a ball python is a little bit bigger of a snake and needs a terrarium that is at least 40 gallons (150 liters), if not larger. The size snake terrarium you will need depends on the type of snake you have.
