Pet Snakes - Every Boys Dream Pet


 

Most girls and moms have an adverse reaction to having pet snakes or any other dangerous animals as a pet, however with proper care and the correct selection even those with aversions can become quite fascinated by having a snake as a pet.

 

Let's dive right in.

 

 

Some Advice For Those Looking To Get Pet Snakes

 

The key is to do a lot of research when buying pet snakes. Most pet shops will sell the harmless snakes and teach you how to feed them. If you always wanted a snake as a pet when you were a boy, you might choose something a little more exotic.

 

Tips to finding the right snake for you or your child can come in handy when you are faced with the task.

 

Do Your Research

 

First, you will want to research snakes in general. You have your garden-variety snake that is very common and not dangerous. Then there are pythons, kings, and boa constrictor snakes.

 

Keep in mind if this is for a child you probably want a harmless pet snake that will not grow too large.

 

The larger snakes mentioned above take more care and larger aquariums and are not suited for smaller children.

 

Species and Diets

 

The species of snake you choose will have a special diet. Most species have different diets. You may have seen pet snakes in the pet store eating mice while other snakes do not. It is important to choose a snake you can provide proper food for at all times.

 

You also do not want to keep a wild snake, as they tend to carry diseases and stress with the change in environment. It is best to shop at a trustworthy pet shop or snake breeder.

 

King and Gopher Snakes

 

Most king snakes and gopher snakes tend to eat mice and need to have plenty of water to drink. You may have a little pond in your aquarium with tree branches, rocks, and dirt for your snake. Like food, most snakes require a special environment.

 

You will want to research that snake before choosing the environmental accessories.

 

Pet Snakes Require Heat

 

Snakes are often tropical in nature so they require heat as well as moderate temperatures in the evening. You have heard of the desert being cold at night.

 

Snakes are proliferating in the desert areas and rainforests. Being able to provide the proper environment will ensure a long life for pet snakes.

 

Touching on food again, you also need to have a feeding schedule. Some snakes do not have to eat every day. In fact, gopher snakes will not eat every day. If you are getting a pet snake for your child you will want to make sure they understand the feeding schedule.

 

Age and Handling

 

Most young adults can handle having pet snakes while little children will need you to take care of the snake.

 

Handling the snake is also important. The more a snake is used to human contact the more domicile they tend to be. This means those that are dangerous can be held given proper training and handling.

 

I recommend staying away from these snakes when you first have a pet snake. It is important to take small steps when you have pet snakes to get used to their special needs.

 

Pet Snakes are Fascinating

 

Snakes can make great pets if you take proper care of them. Many young boys and even girls are fascinated with snakes. They have pretty colors and just the lure of a little danger can add to the interest.

 

Make sure you are prepared for the requirements needed for you to have pet snakes before giving in to a child’s demand.
