Nope - they are forest and grassland dwellers.
Yes
So the snakes are safe from the sun.
i think rattlesnakes do
Not neccesarily if it's a pet snake but if it's a wild snake it depends on it habitat. For my pet snake I use a fish tank gravel and want to transition into using a mulch or sand type substrate but if you go to your nearest pet store they can recommend a substrate to you .
The sand and clay soil is the type of soil and sand that would be used by the tortoise to substrate.
No, Frogs do not need sand to live in the water. Frogs though may elect to live in swim in sand many are just as happy to bury themselves in small pebbles, mud, or other fine substrate. This practice is to hide from predators such as snakes. If there is no predators, or species that the frog views as a potential predator, a frog will be fine to leave in the water with no substrate at all. Though the frog is safe and can survive this will likely cause the animal stress. Simply to answer in a line all frogs need to survive is a source of oxygen and a source of food, not sand.
You mean substrate?
I have no idea but good luck finding out! =P lol
No.Not all the snakes avoid sand like the desert-living sidewinter
They can go into the water but they live on land. They burrow into the ground, they do swim and you can find them in the sand or grass and in trees, on fences and vines, under rocks, boards, etc.
No, for the substrate you can have coconut fiber. I have half of that and sand.
warthogs, elephants, sand snakes
