Snake handling basics

You have a snake in your life and you want to make sure you are able to look after her to the best of your ability. How should you be handling her?

Your snake is a solitary creature by nature and this means that she will likely shy away from being picked up on a regular basis. However, this is important for her to get used to as she will need to be held from time to time, like during veterinary visits or when her enclosure is being cleaned out. Get her used to interacting with you in this manner by taking the time to gradually introduce her to it in small doses. This will ease her into it by helping her get comfortable by your side and learn to trust you. For additional information, please contact your local vet Marion IA area.

Where your cat wants to relax

Your cat shares your living space with you and this means that she will be looking for a place to rest and relax in this space. Where is she likely to be the most comfortable?

Your cat will need to nap on a regular basis and this means that she will likely try to find a place she can rest again and again. Your little fur ball needs to be able to stretch out and be comfortably supported so she won’t be tossing and turning. She also needs to be able to rest without interruption, so she is likely to select a spot off the beaten path in your home. She may seek out new and different places until she finds an area she likes, and then she will likely stick to this unless she finds an area that is even more appealing.
