How to Choose a Pet Snake : Choosing a Pet Snake: Food

[Difius]

Aren't Corn snakes capable of eating small rats aswell, not only adult mice as they do tend to grow to around or over 1½ meters. My current corn snake is about 2½ years old, hes a little over 1m in length and already at age 1½ he was able to eat adult mice and he's grown so much in the past year.

[Lilliz91]

thank you!!

[Reptilerickbp]

Nice snake please check my reptile collection out!!!!!!

[TheEminevenaxe]

Instead of feeding one large prey, can we just feed multiple smaller prey? Like three adult mice as opposed to one rabbit? And also do they accept fish? Much nicer to find in the freezer then mice.

[estasak13]

@metarra yes the ball python is a great snake and is about the size of the spotted python. It doesnt have to be handled if you dont want too.

[Bradyz4]

The video looks like it was made in the 1980s

[jacksettle]

What snake would eat insects, like handling, and be relatively small?

[IReviewAnything4U]

@jacksettle insects r u serious  wa r u 12?

[jacksettle]

@IReviewAnything4U yup. I would love to feed mice, but i don't think i could afford it

[AgentMercer]

@jacksettle put a live mousetrap up where there would be alot of them, in a garage or something.

[michelobiu]

threw out all the videos i have seen about this guy it seems he likes the spotit python alot

[r2d2live]

can i feed them that snake sausage because we have pet hamsters and we get the feeling its like feeding a frozen hamster

[ELAURIA9]

Get a life of your own! Live animals alown!!! Snakes needs more than a plastic box!!! Imagin you to live in a plastic can!!!!!! Hello!!!!

If you REALLY LOVE SNAKES LIVE THEM IN NATURE!!!

Thank you!

[frankenstein04]

@ELAURIA9 leave*

[frankenstein04]

I have a question...: Can I feed a snake ONLY frozen food? e.i frozen mice? What if and i know this sounds stupid but what if i feel sorry for the mice and dont want them to be alive when the snake eats it?

[FireTrainer12]

@frankenstein04 yea sure of course

[snakelover122]

@frankenstein04 Yes. I believe it's also better feeding the snake only frozen food because it eliminates the risk of the snake being injured by the mouse.

[frankenstein04]

@snakelover122 Thanks!:)

[MangaAnimeGOOD]

@frankenstein04 its okay i feel sorry whenever i have to hook a minnow fish on to a fishing pole

[frankenstein04]

@MangaAnimeGOOD lol aww

[metarra]

I like the slower movement of the python versus the corn snake. If I had a snake I wouldn't be interested in touching it all the time, so I'm ok with a snake that doesn't like handling as much. Are there any other smallish pythons or boas besides that spotted one?

[TanNguyen1998]

i see

[Codester916]

I feed my snake 16 oz T-bones.

[itsfunnyish]

can u feed a corn snake, kingsnake, or milk snake something like feeder fish, while its a baby can i feed it crickets. what else can i feed it other than mice/rats or any bird haha. PLEASE ANSWER

[whitewolf037]

@itsfunnyish only garter snakes my friend 

[Fredrinski]

THIS IS THE BEST GUY ON EXPERTVILLAGE!

[djbiggyb]

if i get a larger snake, is there a chance that he/she will try to eat my poodle? serious question.

[whitewolf037]

@djbiggyb as long as you keep it in its cage and dont let your poodle mess with it or get it angry you will have two alive and healrhy and non eaten pets

[TheMkDclan]

why dont you just make one long video instead of like 10 videos

[datkiddswaqq]

how much does that spotted python go for?

[SmokenTotalled]

@AskewPrem 10 gallon for a baby, maybe even 20 gallon then you won't have to move up to a bigger one as soon. I have mine in a 35 gallon but that's just because I already had the tank, you'd need a lot of extra hides and it's really not advised unless you already have one laying around.

[CooKIExMownSter]

i have a question. live in London Ontario Canada. my room is in the basement. and its pretty cold down here. would that do something with bad with the snake. or would the tank and all its condiments keep the snake warm?

[SmokenTotalled]

@CooKIExMownSter I live there too o: weird.

I have a corn snake and you have to have a heating pad on one side that should be at 82-86 degrees, preferably 85. And the other side(cold side) around room temp or 70-75 I believe. If you basement is particularily cold you might consider a heat lamp on the cold side kept really low, just to heat it within the 70s range. I'm not a huge expert though and I only know about cornsnakes so look at some caresheets online (:

[championjeep]

Just so you know adult bloods will take Guinea Pigs,

[hubertgreen]

that isent a full grown spotted python? Would prefer to see the adults animals....spotted pythons looks very good but read that thet can be a bit agressive:(

[TheSammypickle]

corn snakes are badass, i just love the morphs the come in.

[LulzAreGud]

BABY MOUSE D:

[FlameSpartan]

@LulzAreGud They're bred to be feeders, now. I'm sorry you don't like that, but it's what they were born to be

[xXxmadegirl7xXx]

hey, i wanted to get a ball pythn but my boyfriend is sooo scared of rats and mice ...what else could i possible feed it (when it gets bigger) besides rats mice or rabbits...or are those the only things

[louis1152]

@xXxmadegirl7xXx try anoles, or frog.

[Renshato]

@louis1152 good advice, thanks, never would have thought of that.

[louis1152]

@Renshato ur welcome

[tysonismyname]

@xXxmadegirl7xXx not a good idea rats and mice are very good for snakes because they are generally there main prey in the wild in my opinon just dont feed ur snake when ur boyfriends around?

[SmokenTotalled]

@xXxmadegirl7xXx That's all you can feed it. Not rabbits though because I don't think ball pythons get that big. Also, just feed it frozen/thawed food and not live so even if you're boyfriend is around the animals will already be dead. If he really doesn't like it tell him to leave the room when you feed it.

[crAZieEJUgeRnauT]

i feed mine with chicken necks

[paintballer9608]

what if you are goning to catch a snake as a pet just like a garden snake or black snake what should i feed it and what do i need to buy other than a fish tank and what type of lid should the cage have.

[gibblesthechicken]

@paintballer9608 if you can, just get a screen lid and put a weight on top, they will eat anything from minnows(if you have a deep enough water dish) too earthworms too even pinky mice(only experience with garter)

[SmokenTotalled]

@paintballer9608 I wouldn't advise catching one outside, they're not very healthy and can be more agressive. If you really want too though look up some caresheets online.

[MRKILLALLNOOBS]

@AskewPrem about 4 1/2 inches to start

[crazyfool2017]

i have a normal red sided garter snake and i am not sure really when to feed it baby mice it eats worms now

[LogicallyMinded]

Garter snakes eat worms, slugs, and fish.=)

[ARSA525]

Can u buy a king cobra? Or any kind of poison snake. Is it legal?

[xxArcticWolf13Xx]

yes there legal i think u need some kinda document though and there called hots and you have to go to a breeder or something try viperkeeper hes here on youtube he can tell you what you need to know

[ARSA525]

Do you know is it legal to have a poison snake as a pet in Finland or in the European Union?

[xxArcticWolf13Xx]

no i live in the U.S sry

[jnm2008]

depends on your state location and on the permits that you can get your hands on. most places won't let get an exotic pet license if your just getting them as pets.

[varigated]

think king cobras are ilegal to keep in most countries, but you can keep some poisonous snakes. but i dont think you should be starting out with these kinds of snakes. you can check online which snakes youre allowed to keep where you live. theres different laws for different countries/states and even some cities.

[Gordon107]

I got a Hog Nose. hasent eatn in a year no joke lol... it wont eat..

[onlinedevil1]

How old is it?

Have you just been trying to feed it rodents? If so try feeding a small lizard of some sort.

Alternativly, try braining.

[varigated]

check out the channel snakepytestv.  they have a video with tricks to get your snake to eat.

[ihatethenameluca]

blood python ?? the hell

[cadela1979]

there are belt snakes that eat small fish and worms, there are also a few that eat snails and insects, which dont get to big, but ratsnakes, corns, boa and pythons will eat mice and bigger

[JamoW123]

western hognose - 2"

[MoNziL]

[Awesomenessinaway]

[KwLFaMiLy]

[Awesomenessinaway]
