Though snakes are simple animals with simple needs, they still need comfort so they can thrive well. Thus, in housing one, do not forget to place a substrate inside the tank. This material is what snakes use as their resting place that seems more comfortable and natural than glass.
So, what can you use as a substrate? Here are some suggestions.
- Paper towels
- Smooth sand
- Newspaper
- Rolled corrugate
- Aspen shavings
- Cypress bark mulch
- Dry leaves
Do not use aromatic wood shavings. This substrate also acts as the repository of the waste of your pet snake. So, be sure to remove and replace the substrate when your snake poops. Experts suggest cleaning the whole cage when you remove the substrate. What should you use to clean the entire tank?
- Mild soap and water
- Alcohol-based glass cleaners
- Diluted Clorox solution
- Diluted Roccal solution
- Avoid using cleaners that contain phenol.
If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an appointment with your animal hospital Derby.
