Snakes
Snakes have fewer needs than some pets, but one is they need a perfect heat source. Snakes rely on external heat to regulate their body temperatures and it is very important to provide them with a good heat source. But it is also important to provide a space in the tank to allow the snake to be able to get away from the heat. Aquarium tanks are the most common way to house snakes. Tanks come in a variety of sizes and shapes, as do snakes, but always use a secure lid, because snakes are great escape artists. Larger snake species usually will require hand build encloures to support their housing needs.
Always provide a place for the snake to hide so they feel secure. A box, log, pvc pipe or anything without sharp or rough edges that a snake can crawl into or under. Most snakes eat mice, rats or other small animals. Some will eat crickets and other insects. Most snakes have learned to eat once frozen but thoroughly thawed mice or rats, but be prepared to feed fresh food.
