Horace Escue: All the exact information is going to be species dependent - Tempature, humidity, enclosure size, prey items- as every one else has already said.Here is a web site on general snake care and a list of the basic supplies.http://www.repvet.co.za/snakes_general_snake_cares...Recommended Supplies:A secure enclosure Heat matHeat lampA rheostat or thermostat to control heat mats Thermometers and hydrometer Substrate Logs or other items for hiding/climbing areas Spill-resistant water bowl Feed dishesCare book UVB light source ( required by a few species)Fake plants and decor(optional) Here is a link with care sheets of the more common kept snakes.http://www.wnyherp.org/care-sheets/snakes/...Show more
Mitchell Pickens: the care for the snake depends on what type of snake it is. some snakes are desert animals and need drier conditions...and others are tropical and need moister conditions.
James Langmyer: Corn snakes are the best species for beginners and! they are easy to look after.I think you should do some research first or go to a reptiles shop and talk to a member of staff...don't just buy the cutest snake you need to make sure you are capable of looking after it.
Coleman Ocegueda: What species of snake?We really can't help without that piece of information - different snakes have very different care.
Sook Hershkowitz: First, identify the type (species) of snake. Make sure it is not poisonous.Second, look up information about that species of snake (books, Internet, call pet store that sells snakes) and read about its habitat and food. Then create the habitat as best you can in an aquarium. Weather is getting colder, so you will likely have to keep it inside for now. You can buy a cheap aquarium at a pet store with a special lid and warming light to keep it warm.Then give it the food it likes to eat. Ask for help while at the pet store...make sure the pet store sells snakes first...or just call them.Whi! le you do all this, keep the snake warm...not hot. Remember, ! they are cold blooded and need warmth as they can't create their own body heat. Put grass or pine straw in the container. Give him something to get under also....like a frisbee or something. Remember, give him some water too.That's about it. Good luck. Let him go if you really don't want him....Show more
Toya Braskett: a i think pythons are cute snakes!HOWEVER these snakes can get very big, very fast, so for a first time snake owner i would reccomend a corn snake - picture: http://www.livefoodsbypost.co.uk/ekmps/shops/thepi...they eat mostly mice (pinkies to start with, but getting bigger as the snake grows) and grow to about 5 foot long, but are not as strong as pythons.they can live over 18 years and are generally calm and docile snakescorn snakes are not hightly active and one square foot of floor space should be allowed for every foot of the snake.they are escape artists so make sure the enclosure is secureyou can keep them on newspaper, or to look better, ar! tificial grass or reptile carpet, but not loose substrate.several hiding places should be provided so the snake feels securethe tank needs to be high enough for the snake to have some room to climb, and clean branches should be inside for him to climb on.a bowl of water should always be in the tank, big enough or the snake to submerge itself inuse a heat mat for heat and a basking light. the hot half of the tank should be about 30C and the cool half 21C. (you might want to recheck the temps though, i'm not sure)and remember, you dont need to feed him every day - every 3-5 days should be fine, depending on the food size...Show more
Karl Samiec: how lots you pay relies upon on what form you get - some animal shelters have them for loose, good as much as a pair of hundred pounds. cleansing out is easy, commonly they have sand or gravel of their terranium, so basically make certain you have someplace maintain to place your puppy while you're cleansing. maximum Snakes co! nsume mice - toddler ones while they're smaill, moving directly to 0.5 ! and finally finished mice. (you should purchase those frozen from maximum respectable puppy shops) My buddy had an indian corn snake, and he or she replaced right into a sensible length while totally grown - be careful to no longer get a breed that grows too huge - procuring greater tanks could be costly....Show more
Kristina Brockwell: We can't tell you without knowing what snake it is. Google would be the quickest fastest solution here.Um a cute pet snake? I can see this snake will get improperly cared for quickly, your buying it just because its cute? I hate these types of situations. I hope you know snakes can bite and some can get big enough to kill you, I know you probably won't be getting one big enough to kill you but its the point that they aren't cute little trinket toys.Please research before you buy it, I know your trying by posting on here but your buying for all the wrong reasons....Show more
Lynn Melbourne: Most snakes eat rodents.Some eat fish an! d worms.Others eat birds and lizards.Some need arid/dry habitats. Some need humid/moist habitats. Some need substrate for hiding/burrowing. Some need limbs for climbing. Some needs a lotta floor space, while others need more height for climbing.So, once you figure out what sort of snake you are actually getting - then that is the time to ask us for help with it.To answer your open question as it stands right now would require an encyclopedia or two.Google snakes and make a choice first. Good luck.I hope this has been helpful....Show more
