HOUSING
SNAKES
If you are going to house a snake,
you will need to determine wether or not it is in need of
a
dry or tropical climate. If you are not sure about what kind
of habitat your snake is form, you could look up information
on the Internet to be sure under care sheets or inquire with
us.
Most snakes that are labeled as Pythons & Boas are generally
classified under tropical animals requiring the need of humidity.
Their habitat is from the rainforest, therefore that is the
environment they are in need of.
Many of these types of snakes are arboreal. If this is the case
with your snake, it is recommended to maximize some height in
regards to an enclosure. The snake may want to bask high up
and coil in the vines as they often do in there natural habitat
often coiling around the limbs waiting for prey such as birds
& other mammals.
Therefore, the unit would be designed to hold large vines
which are bolted together to withstand the weight and stenght
of the snake. If the snake is going to grow to a very large
animal
such as in the Burmese Python family, then height should not
be to high because of the weight of the snake.
The base of the unit could then partially serve as the source
of humidity. For example, our "Amazon
Water Basin" or "Tropical
Land & Pool" is an excellent choice that provides this
environment since water can be contained in the base.
