It depends which species. Initial set up - around £250 including the snake. Monthly upkeep - £20-40 depending on the amount of food and electricity needed to maintain the snake. Preparation and knowledge on the individual species - priceless !
snakes are really quite efficient and easy maintenance as pets... they require warmth and water always available... but they dont need food very often at all... being that they are cold blooded and have small brains, they dont burn up calories like we do... i typically feed my snakes once a week or every other week... one rodent per snake of adequate size for the size of the snake... i guess i probably spend about ten bucks a month on any one of my snakes... and i dont have to worry if i want to go out of town or on vacation... they wont starve...
about $40
yes but they must keep it in a cage if the snake is poisonus.
A pet snake is a snake that has been raised in captivity or with people around it all the time so when it is at least a year old they can transport it to a pet shop and then you can can buy it legally and keep it as a pet. Some snakes available to keep as pets are 1. Black Indigo Snake. 2. A Garter Snake. 3. The Sinaloan Milk Snake. 4. An Eastern Hognose Snake. 5. The Leopard Rat Snake. 6. The Speckled Kingsnake 7. and a Royal Python aka the longest snake you can keep as a pet.
Pet snakes eat live mice or frozen mice. A snake's diet consists of mice because other animals cost to much to constantly buy for your snake to eat.
yes if you get a license. This will vary between countries and states according to local laws.
You shouldn't keep a wild animal as a pet
Probably. Most people keep lots of wild animals that they should not keep. Do whats right. Don't keep an anaconda as a pet. Keep a smaller snake, like a corn snake. hope this helps.
I found that a garter snake is by far the easiest to keep and it's very kid friendly.
I think it is not the best idea to have it as a pet, but if you were a really crazy person who would have a snake as a pet you would keep that rat thingy. but anyway a mole rat, my answer would be NO!
You can order snake pet supplies on line from a lot of businesses. Some of places are petsmart, bhbreptiles, and petco. They all have home delivery for a cost.
The cost of feeding a pet snake mice will depend on the size of the snake, and also the prices at a local pet store. Many pet stores have "feeder mice" that are relatively cheap, and bred for feeding snakes and other carnivorous reptiles. These mice can usually be purchased for less than $3 apiece, and many snakes that eat them will only need to eat once a week. However if a snake is larger, rats may be the more economical way to go, and many rats cost around $5 apiece.
Yes i believe he douse a have a pet snake. Or had i am not shure.
