Exquisite 6 Care Tips For Chameleons

Snakes are cold-blooded so the temperature of the cage must be properly maintained. The best thing to do is to do some Internet or in-store research on the type of climate from which your snake is used to (or typically lives in) to make sure you maintain the proper temperature. Most snakes live in areas with temperatures of 25 to 30 degrees centigrade (77 to 86 Fahrenheit) so buy a thermometer from a reptile supplies store to make sure your snake's environment reflects that temperature.

There is much to be gained from building your own reptile cage. It is good fun and will give you, as a reptile owner, a great deal of personal satisfaction. Before you do go out and purchase a reptile, take some time to research what is the best sort of cage for your pet. You should be aware that many reptiles will grow considerably over time and you may have to build a number of cages. Good luck and enjoy.

Reptiles need a place to hide. Like you, your pet will probably want some time to be alone and a couple of hiding places should be provided in their home. Think about having some pieces of wood or vines in their home with holes or spaces behind them for your pet to snooze in. Pet reptiles love to explore all the nooks and crannies you have put in their cages, so have fun designing a really nice terrarium.
