Q:
What items will I need to purchase
to house a snake comfortably?
a: Before purchasing
a snake from a respected
snake shop we highly recommend
reading about the species
and learning if it will
be right for you. Our Eastern
Brown Snake Care Guide is
the perfect start and even
includes handy plans for
building a custom professional
looking display enclosure
for your snake. Along with
this information the main
items you will need are:
Information, a suitably
sized enclosure, a water
dish, suitable substrate
for the enclosure, a hiding
area within the enclosure
(that your snake can completely
fit inside), a reptile light
source, under tank heater
(if necessary), a temperature
gauge, and feeding hemostats.
Since the Eastern Brown
Snake is a highly venomous
species we recommend that
your tank is lockable and
completely escape proof.
It is also highly recommended
that you do not ever handle
this species.
