They are the easiest first time snake to look after. Pretty hardy. They have a diet of mice only. Make sure you read the care sheet on the main page Aslong as you read up on them and get the main points right e.g. temperature, they are pretty easy to care for. |

Welcome to the site you jammy sole! Lewys care sheet will give you lots of info, any more questions just ask away and at least one of the boffins will answer pretty quickly. |

Yep, as long as they are introduced to him first, and seem to be ok with him... plus you can leave a note of what they need to do on what days... mostly only changing water and altering stats for night temperature drop, plus occassional feeding and keeping an eye on general condition... far easier than cats and dogs!!

lucky you, he should be ok aslong as the person you leave him with can look after him, all he needs is a feed once a week, water and heat. |
