F.A.Q

You Cohab your snakes??? Previous Asks

Guides:

Enrichment/Toys (inside their enclosure) Enrichment Activities (outside their enclosure) Foods! (Different foods, what's safe, and what's a sometimes treat) Feeding guides (weight vs feeding amount) Enclosure Necessities (lighting, hides, water ponds, food areas, activity areas, safety considerations, optional aesthetics) Common Enclosure Mistakes (do it for your reptile not your human aesthetics!) Things Every Snake Keeper Should Have (information, medical, equipment) Enclosure and Substrate Types (Pros/Cons) Making a Cool/Wet/Moss Hide Making a baby bin / temp enclosure (for emergencies/vet visits) Help I lost my snake! (What to do when they escape) Scale Rot (how it happens, how to avoid it, what to do if your snake has it) How to communicate TO your snake (how to show you aren't a threat, how to express what you're trying to do) How to understand your snake (reading their body language, and encourage them to "talk" to you to express their wants and needs, "airplane") Choice Based handling & interaction (bonding) When you first get your snake! Dangers to keep away from your snake! (dangerous toys and enclosure dangers, red lights, heat pads, NO THERMOSTAT OR TEMP GUN -_-') Outdated lies and idiot keepers/vets (look out for these and keep your pets safe)

#Making a pinned post for new peeps to not only find commonly asked questions and guides #But I keep seeing the same questions asked on forums #And honestly a solidly written answer that is updated as I gain more info might be better than writing out a response each time #This will mostly apply to hognoses #as many things relate to their personality and size #But other snake keepers might find it useful! And that'd be great!#Just keep in mind the majority of my experience is specifically with hognoses whom I feel a super strong connection to and love dearly #Some day I might get a ball python that'd be great but my girls need a lot of time and attention #and I worry getting another snake might take time away from them #Sometimes Scoria wants to be cuddled for hours #I offer to let her go back to her enclosure and she says no #So the cuddling and gentle pets while telling her how wonderful she is continue #Meanwhile Sakura is upset I've stolen her sister away like a villain
