How To Care For And Feed Snakes How to Catch Snakes

Keep the cage to an optimal temperature between 80 and 88 degrees. Snakes are reptiles and they maintain a body temperature the same as their surroundings. All snakes needs vary between the two temperatures. Tropical snakes thrive in the warmer end.
House the snake in a large enough area for the breed. The average space needed to raise a snake is 1/2 square foot of floor area for every foot of snake. If the snake is larger than 6 feet long, you need to increase the footage to 3/4 square foot of area per foot of snake. Increase the space by 25 percent for each additional snake.
