What does a pet snake have in its cage?
Essential vivarium items include... a water bowl, suitable substrate, adequate heat source (especially for tropical species), and somewhere to 'hide' if the snake wants to have some 'privacy'.
You can also include items with rough surfaces - such as rocks or large pieces of cork bark. This will give the snake something abrasive to help it when it is going through the shedding process.

Is there a certain time in a snakes life when it sheds its skin?
No - they shed more frequently when they're younger - as their skin doesn't stretch in definitely as they grow. The older a snake gets, the less growing it does, so it needs to shed less. A newly-hatched snake may shed every 4-6 weeks - whereas a fully-grown snake may only shed once every two years.

How do you determine the sex of a Red-tail Boa snake?
There are three ways to sex a snake. You can pop, probe, or "feel". Popping is when you turn their internal sexual organs inside out, which is designed more for fat-tailed snakes such as ball pythons. Probing is when a lubricated probe is inserted into the cloaca, and the depth it is inserted determines the sex. This should only be done by experienced handlers. You can also "feel" the snake to determine the sex. By running your finger along its tail from the vent to about halfway down the tail, you can determine if it's male or female. If you feel a "pop" kind of like a rubber band snapping, then you have a male, if not, then a female. Hope this helps!
