Instructions
Choose a terrarium that gives the snake enough room to stretch out and move around and has both vertical and horizontal spaces, such as shelves and ledges.
Avoid a wire-lined terrarium. To maintain proper temperature and high humidity, opt for glass or Plexiglas terrariums.
Look for a terrarium that has a secure, wire mesh lid.
Light up the terrarium with an attached full-spectrum fluorescent lamp.
Choose a terrarium that has a large basking area and plenty of room for branches, rocks and a hiding box.
Make sure the terrarium has at least two sides made of glass or Plexiglas. Some snake experts recommend Plexiglas because glass produces a glare.
Select a terrarium that has an under-tank heater or an attached heat lamp.
Keep your snake's environment safe with a terrarium that's easy to clean. A detachable bottom makes it easier to clean the tank's floor.
