Can you imagine having a snake as pet? If you are an exotic pet lover and searching for an uncommon pet, snake may be right choice for you. But all species of snakes are not good as pets. I am going to let you know about milk snake- considered to be a good pet.
A milk snake may be a good member of your family provided you properly care for it. They can grow up to 2-3 feet and are available in different colors. For more details on milk snake, scroll down…
Housing
The first and foremost requirement is a secured enclosure. Make sure that the length of enclosure is minimum 2/3 rd of your snake’s length. For proper housing, you need various things including shallow water dish, substrate for the cage, hiding places, and artificial branches. Hiding places are necessary because these snakes feel safe when hide. But be careful while using substrate as these snakes love to burrow. You can use Aspen shavings instead.
Maintenance
It’s very easy to care for milk snakes. For juvenile snakes, you need to feed after every 4-5 days. Adults require food every 7-10 days. To maintain good pet health, make sure to maintain good humidity level in the cage.
Feeding
For these snakes, pre-killed frozen items are recommended. You can easily find it on pet stores.
This was the basic info about milk snakes. Before finally taking one at home, I would recommend further detailed research on their characteristics and temperament.
After all, keeping a snake is a different responsibility!

Housing: You have many options for housing. In market, you will find different types of cages and tanks for your lizard. Using creativity, you can build one at home also. It is preferred to impart some natural look to the cage. It will make the reptile feel comfortable.
Usually 20 gallon aquarium is sufficient for younger ones and 40 gallon for adults. Use of glass on the cage is not preferable as it stops air circulation.
Feeding
Bearded dragons can eat both; plant and animal matter. But make sure to cut its food in small pieces. Usually, it’s recommended that pieces should be smaller than space between its two eyes. If pieces are bigger, it can create hind leg paralysis and your pet will suffer terribly.
You can offer crickets (to baby and juvenile) two-three times a day. But if it stops eating, don’t force it to eat. Younger lizards can have 30-50 crickets a day.
Adult ones can be provided with prey items also including cockroaches, mealworms, locusts and earthworms. Don’t feed them on the insects you catch in your backyard. These insects may be poisonous and may kill your beardie.
So, if you bring a bearded dragon, take care it properly to keep it happy and healthy.
