Care of Snakes

Snakes do not pass liquid urine line mammals do, but rather urates which are solid. If it's yellow, then there are urates on the bottom of your snake tank.

Heat lamps in captivity can harm corn snakes if they are placed where the snake can get very close to it. To prevent this a wire mesh cage should be placed around the lamp

It Is uncomfortable for its scales.

Any reptile retailer should have a good supply of frozen food suitable for the species they sell. As for live food - you would have to source them from a pet shop - or perhaps a breeder.

I think you mean Topaz Tanami Woma Python, I don't think they are dangerous, if handled in the correct manner. They will stike, and can give a nasty bite, also they will constrict. I'm not too familiar with this species, I think alot would depend on how big they get, to be a danger to small children and pets.

There is nothing wrong with picking a snake up after its first shed - HOWEVER - the shedding process is stressful for the snake, so my best advice would be to leave it alone for a few days to allow it to settle down again.

Absolutely not !

There is NO legitimate reason to use artificial moisturisers on reptiles - they would NEVER encounter such products in the wild !

Someone could of left the drawer open for a period of time, and it could of crawled in and stayed there, locked inside. Or there could be a hole somewhere on the outside!

Mainly Florida, but i heard they are sometimes in Canada? Not Sure About Canada Though.

The Ball Python, or more correctly, Royal Python are native to West and Central Africa, in lowland rainforest.

corn snakes poo 2-4 days after you feed them

I build them out of 1/2-inch thick plywood. Basically, cut the pieces to the correct sizes, and fasten together with countersunk screws. I always coat the edges with a little silicon before screwing, to ensure a good seal. I usually make the front out of a narrow strip of ply (top and bottom), and attach tracking for glass. The glass needs to be cut and polished to remove the sharp edges. Install suitable heat and light sources, and you're just about done. Choose suitable substrate for the floor of the vivarium, and provide a big enough hiding place for the snake Remember to include a water-bowl (for drinking and/or bathing). Oh - don't forget a suitable lock for the glass doors - to prevent escape !

This is a good question, you know some might and some might not.

Yes, a baby corm snake can drink regular tap water. They drink all sorts of water in the wild and it will not hurt them.

They don't eat every day. Young Boas eat once every 7-10 days. Full-grown adults only need to eat once every 6-7 weeks!

No, many snakes are known to eat carrion when the opportunity comes. Many snakes in captivity will also eat prekilled prey items such as rodents, rabbits, and chickens.

For sure! They're harmless, and easy to feed. Just get some earth worms and a case for the snake and you're straight

Probably - but you'll have to make a lot of telephone calls to find a breeder that has produced the mutation ! The naturalcolour scheme - is reddish-brown blotches with a black 'border' on a yellow or sand coloured background. Any other colour scheme (including albino or amelanistic) is a mutation.

This is a great idea make sure to make the water about 85 degrees, It will help the snake relax his bowels this is a great way to help your snake digest its food to keep it from getting impacted, It also helps them shed.

The Ahaetulla prasina, or green vine snake, can live up to 12 years. They are very thin and agile, and can be 6 feet long.

Nope - they are a species of Boa - a constrictor.

Snakes are reptiles. All reptiles have a covering of scaly skin. They do not actually have individual scales like fish do.

Your question is too vague to give a definitive answer. A small species (such as a Coral snake) may only weigh a few ounces (grammes), while a fully-grown Puff Adder could weigh as much as 13 lbs (6.0 kg)

There's no need - the 'mother' snake has no maternal instinct towards its offspring - and the young snake is completely independent from the moment it was born.
