- Raising condition
Pet snake is a slender animal and also a master of escape, so the first thing that we should do is to choose an reptile enclosure that fits our snakes well. The suggested size of the reptile enclosure is depended on the size of the snakes. Ideally, the width of the enclosure could be 3 to 4 times the diameter when the snake is prehensile and the length of the enclosure could be two-thirds of the snake. Three important functions that we should consider when we choose an reptile tank are seal, safety, and ventilation. To provide a comfortable environment for snakes, snake keepers are suggested to use suitable reptile cage bedding for different snakes. The common cage bedding is bard chips

- Feeding food
The food habit of snakes can be classified into two types. Suckling mice are one of the food that is easy to get and it is also an ideal food that can provide enough nutrition for snakes. The important thing to note here is pet snakes eat less as they are cold-blooded animals, so feeding them once or twice a week is pretty enough for them. Snakes shed their skin every year and swimming in water is helpful for them to cast their skin, so a water/food bowl is needed which can use to raisin their food such as baby fish and small loach as well.
『Wide application』Yard lizards, turtles, terrapin, tortoise, gecko, sulcatas, bearded dragon, etc.
『Material』Realistic rock finish on the external surface and a smooth non-pitted surface inside.
Humidity and temperature are one of the keys to raising reptiles. Generally, pet snakes can adjust their temperature by moving backward and forwards through the hot and cold zone, so it is necessary to have two thermometers to monitor the temperature of the cold and hot zone, and a hygrometer to monitor the area where pet snakes always stay. Pet snakes have no use for lighting in terrariums for the reason that snakes are unlike common animals which have eyelids to protect their eyes, so UVB light is harmful to pet snakes. If you would like to add a light to enjoy watching your snakes, it is best to use a moonlight lamp at night and use a heating pad for the heating effect.
