looking display enclosure
for your snake. Along with
this information the main

for the enclosure, a hiding
area within the enclosure

fit inside), a reptile light
source, under tank heater
(if necessary), a temperature
gauge, and feeding
hemostats. A month or so
of food is also recommended
to keep on hand.
