My littlest shoelace tagged the guy in the pet shop when I was buying him, tail rattling and all. It was because he was shedding, in fact started shedding about 20 minutes later. Guy said it was like being gummed to death by a toddlers toothbrush  Was extremely cute watching this little 16' long shoelace trying to act all tough. Not a rattle out of him since and he's been good as gold. You're in more danger of having a heart attack when you can't find him because he's pretending to be a lighting cable, like mine did on Wednesday evening!
The setup guides on here are really good, just a few things to watch remember really, mostly leading from bad advice that you may get from the pet shop. You need a thermostat, 2 digital thermometers, heat mat and don't use a bulb at all unless it's guarded and statted. If you need light it's easier and cheaper to put in LED strips or LED push-lights. Baby snakes don't need £80 worth of viv, fancy hides etc, they're quite happy if not happier in £10 worth of plastic box sat on a heat mat with stats and thermometer probes, empty toilet rolls make good hides and kitchen roll is a great substrate for little ones, not least because it's (a) easy to see poop so easier to clean and (b) easier to find a hiding burrowing hatchling! Just make sure they have a warm and cool end, have plenty of fresh water and places to hide and you're all set. |
