a snake from a respected
snake shop we highly recommend
reading about the species
and learning if it will
be right for you. Our Madagascar Tree Boa 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. A month or so
of food is also recommended
to keep on hand. |
