How to care for a snake. If you are interested in keeping a snake you will need to know certain things. Like how big the tank should be and what food that type of snake eats. Here is a list of basic things you will need for your snake.
1. A water bowl that is big enough for your snake to soak in
2. Bedding for the bottom of the tank
3. Some kind of cave or container for your snake to hide in
4. A heating pad for half of the tank, so that the snake can go to the warm side of the cold side depending on how it feels.
5. A tank (the tank size may very between different kinds of snakes, so look up what your snake needs.)
6. Make sure you know what kind of food your snake needs, (different food for different snakes, some foods are mice, rats, crickets, ect.)
You should get a snake when it is young, so that the snake grows up friendly and around people.
If possible I would recomend getting your snake at a shelter or a rescue center. The snakes at pet shops tend to be weak or short lived.
Thank you for all the details! I had no idea how to take care of a snake.
