Where can you get frozen mice for your snake?
At most petshops they sell mice/rats frozen or live for a good price, ask the shop keeper next time you go and he will tell you if he has some.
Well' it totally depends. A reticulated python is around 15 feet long and can easly kill humans and deer. Ball pythons are very good pets and are very nice but not strong only 5 feet long
Why do sugarcane farmers like pythons?
Well, farmers hate mice. Also pythons love to eat them. This is why farmers are greatful of pythons because these snake eat the mice/rodent. I hope I was most helpful.
Are there any snakes that don't eat meat?
Yes, There Are
Almost all snakes eat meat. Vegetarian snakes are an interesting concept, but they don't exist. Snakes catch their prey live; in captivity it is only with difficulty that they can be induced to eat already-killed creatures.
There are some snakes that don't eat meat, such as the egg-eating snake species of Africa and India (Genus- Dasypeltis) that feed exclusively on eggs.
But, there are no herbivorous snakes, meaning there are no snakes that can feed and live off of plant matter.
What to do if your corn snakes pregnant if you dont have a incubator or a vavarium?
To be honest, I'm not quite sure. But if your snake passes the eggs safely and you dont want to the little snake babies, you can freeze the eggs, unless you object to snaky abortions. This is what bird keepers do for unwanted eggs.
Where can you purchase a slug from to feed your snake?
Often, snake species that do not consume rodents will consume a few things, rather than a single food source.
Find out your species for sure and see what other things they eat, as some of their preferred food can be easier to acquire than others.
I have a northern brown snake. it does not eat mice, or eggs, but primarily worms, slugs and soft bodied insects, such as grubs, or maggots.

What is 'American grass snake' in German?
"Glatte Grasnatter" is a German equivalent of "American grass snake" (Opheodrys vernalis).
This North American native is known for habitat preferences in the moist meadows and open woodlands of the northern United States of America and in the Canadian provinces of the East, Quebec and Ontariio. It also is known for its food preferences in the insect world. Specifically, this bright green reptile favors preying upon such insects as smooth spineless caterpillars, grasshoppers and crickets. But it also extends its predatory activities to spiders.

What are the signs of a snake about to shed it's skin?
A ready to shed snake will have very dull colors, and sometimes a blue, opaque look to its eyes due to a fluid accumulating between the layers of skin. Some snakes will also lose their appetite as they near shedding time.
What thing do you need in an anaconda enclosure?
Anacondas grow huge ! The Green anaconda grows to 6.5 metres, the Yellow anaconda not as large (up to 4.5 metres). Any enclosure must be as long as at least half the adult snakes length. For a Yellow anaconda - that would be 2.5 metres (84 inches) minimum !
Both species are highly aquatic in nature - preferring large wet-land areas to submerge into. The Green anaconda is also a nocturnal species - spending daylight hours at rest.
The most logical explanation could be that she is beginning a shed. Many snakes go off food for that time. If that is the case, there are no real concerns and all should reestablish on its normal pattern when she is finished. She should have the appropriate humidity to properly do this with ease.
Check her hydration. Give her a good soak in the tub massaging her middle toward the vent.
If she were bred anytime this season, she could be pregnant. Weights should be accurately measured every other week to ensure she is not losing much if any weight.
Parasites could be the issue. This is more likely if you feed live or f/kzperiodz Frozen feeders are said to be parasite free concerning the temps they are kept in. A fecal test will answer that question.
If it is male, it could be simply because he would like to hibernate if it is near winter or winter where you are. If it is female, it can still be because they want to hibernate but its most likely males are the one that would like to hibernate most.
Also, snakes do not always eat weekly. They may go off food at times. If your fecal check comes back clear, keep offering, she will eat when ready.
I know that my Ball Pythons and my Burmese Python can go around a year without eating and still be okay. Don't worry too much about her not wanting to eat at the moment. If she goes around a month and seems to not want to feed, I would call the local vet and see if they can just do a quick check for you. My Balls don't really want to eat during the months of November-Feburary. They are great eaters otherwise. They get to were they sleep most of the time during those months and I get them out weekly to check on them. My Burmese will eat any time you put food in with him. I hope this helped you a little bit.
How fast can a corn snake slither?
My Corn Snake is quite slow, normally moving in a zig-zag pattern when moving in an open area, frequently stopping to 'sense the air'. I dare say if he was feeling threatened he would move much faster, probably in a straight line ! You can see a video clip of him moving on youtube, under corn snake slither.
Do poisonous snakes always leave poison when they strike?
it depends on wat type of snake it is if it is not a poisonous snake then it would leave poison wen it strike
What happens to baby snakes once the mother delivers them?
Well this depends entirely on the breed of snake you're asking about. Some snakes, such as garter snakes, will give birth to live young. Others, like (my personal favorite) the Western Hognose, lay eggs. Most egg-laying snakes are fairly uninterested in their clutches and will abandon them shortly after they lay them. Others, such as the king cobra and some species pythons, will stay in the vicinity of the eggs until they hatch. Either way, the mothers leave after the eggs hatch. The vast majority of neonates hatch from their eggs by using a temporary "egg tooth" located on the end of their snout. This "tooth" looks more like a little mini-unicorn horn. They use it to slice open the egg. Now, I'm not sure how it works for all species after this point, but the Western Hognose babies will stay in the broken eggshell for about two days. Once the umbilical cord has dried and fallen off, the snake is ready to leave it's shell. Forcing the snake out of his/her shell before this time can result in death by dehydration or exsanguination. :[ But anyway, no matter how our babies started, we now have live young who are not being looked after by mom. At this time they're on their own to forage for food and grow up. I hope this actually answered your question, since I feel like I threw a bit too much information at you. But there it is.
