Snakes and Turtles from Strictly

Snakes and turtles are very interesting and beautiful creatures, so it’s no wonder people like to care for them as a hobby or even as part of their career. Feeding them can be a challenge if you’re not experienced, and when it comes to feeding your snake, it’s recommended you feed them frozen rodents. While some snakes are not venomous, they can still bite, and as an owner you want them to be under stress as little as possible. For this reason, feeding them with forceps is a good way to feed them at a distance as well as keep them from associating your hand with dinner.

Other tips you might find helpful while caring for snakes is making sure you feed multiple snakes in separate enclosures, cover your tank with a towel while they feed, and it’s recommended you feed them at night.

Both snakes and turtles are cold blooded, so if you’re new to caring for the first thing you need to make sure is that their enclosure has the means of controlling the temperature by way of heat lamps and pools of water that the animal can cool off in. Some kinds of turtles actually need a large enough enclosure to swim and wade around in. Depending on the breed and species, different turtles might need different environments, and this can also apply to food. Cold blooded animals also tend to be more active in warm temperatures, whereas in the absence of heat they get sluggish.
