Boa Constrictors
-
Life Span: There are documented cases of boas living in captivity for longer than 40 years. Generally 20-30 years.
-
Size: 6-9 feet
-
Housing: For a baby boa a 30"x 12" (20 gallon) would be adequate to help your little guy feel secure. As your boa grows so will its housing requirements.
-
Hide Box: Offering a hide box will help your new boa feel secure in their environment
-
Temperature: Your new boas house should have a warm side and a cool side. The cool side of the cage, the temperature should not drop below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm side should remain 85 degrees Fahrenheit with a basking spot of 90 degrees Farenheit. You can provide the basking heat by means of a heating pad. Boas like this, they will coil over the heating pad to get belly heat.
-
Lighting: Boas do NOT require UVB lighting but it will not hurt them if you choose to use it.
-
Bedding: There is a variety of substrates that are sufficient for use with boas. These options range from newspaper to fir and cypress barks. When using a substrate the cage will need to be spot cleaned regularly. When using newspaper, paper or carpet the paper should be changed each time you clean.
-
Feeding: Never feed a snake a meal that is larger than the snakes mid body size. When you purchase a snake from us we will tell you their feeding schedule and what we are currently feeding them. Juvenile boas should be fed every 7-10 days. Adult boas (over 2 years of age) can be fed every 10-14 days however can be fed more or less.
-
Water: A water bowl is necessary. This gives your boa a place to drink and soak.
-
Humidity: Should be 60% - 70% this can be gauged with a hygrometer


Carpet Python
Scientific Name: MORELIA SPILOTA
-
Life Span: 20 years or longer
-
Size: 5-9 feet
-
Housing: Adult snakes are normally housed in an enclosure approximately 4' long x 2' deep x 1' high. A 3'x2'x2' would be sufficient for smaller carpet pythons. Carpet pythons are semi-arboreal and do like to climb. It is a good idea to have some kind of branch or perch available.
-
Hide box: Since carpet pythons are semi-arboreal they normally would "hide" in a tree. Having a hide box is optional.
-
Temperature: You need a cool side and a warm side for Carpet Pythons. The cool side should not get lower than 72 degrees Fahrenheit, while the warm side can be up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Lighting: No lighting requirements. We have heat lights on our cages to maintain the heating requirements that the carpets need. Also a light is helpful to maintain visual on your animal while cleaning and to see if there are any issues.
-
Bedding: There are a variety of substrates that work really well for Carpet Pythons. Anything from Newspaper to aspen or cypress wood.
-
Feeding: Never feed a snake a meal that is larger than the snakes mid body size. When you purchase a snake from us we will tell you their feeding schedule and what we are currently feeding them. Juvenile Carpet Pythons should be fed every 7-10 days. Adults (over 2 years of age) can be fed every 10-14 days however can be fed more or less.
-
Water: Carpet Pythons need a water bowl. A large water dish is preferable to keep the humidity levels up and for soaking purposes. Carpets will sometimes soak prior to a shed.
-
Humidity: Around 50%


White Lipped Pythons
Scientific Name: LEIOPYTHON ALBERTISII
-
Life Span: 30 years
-

-
Temperature: As with most reptiles their house should have a warm side and a cool side. The cool side of the cage, the temperature should not drop below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm side should remain 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit with a basking spot of 92 degrees Farenheit.
-
Lighting: Make sure to avoid direct sunlight with your snake enclosure this can cause your cage to overheat.
-
Bedding: There is a variety of substrates that are sufficient. You can use newspaper or paper towels. Additional substrate options are coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, cypress mulch or bark, choosing a substrate that holds humidity well is ideal. When using a substrate the cage will need to be spot cleaned regularly. When using newspaper, paper or carpet the paper should be changed each time you clean.
-
Feeding: Never feed a snake a meal that is larger than the snakes mid body size. When you purchase a snake from us we will tell you their feeding schedule and what we are currently feeding them.

-
Water: A water bowl is necessary. This gives a place to drink and soak, also helps to maintain adequate humidity.
-
Humidity: Should be 75% - 90% this can be gauged with a hygrometer (misting daily will be necessary for White lipped pythons).


Green Tree Pythons
Scientific Name: MORELIA VIRIDIS
-
Life Span: 15-20 years
-
Size: 4-6 feet
-
Housing: Juveniles should be housed in a smaller enclosure approximately 12"x12"x12" is sufficient with an adequate perch. Adults should have at the least 2' x 2' x 2' also with an adequate perch.
-
Hide box: As their name suggests Green Tree pythons mainly stay in trees. They will not require a hide box as they will stay on the perch. But having multiple perch options in the warm area and cool area is an excellent idea.
-
Temperature: Green Tree Pythons are a tropical snake and seldom have temperatures lower than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The basking temperature should be between 86 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit with a cool area of 78 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Lighting: No lighting requirements. We have heat lights on our cages to maintain the heating requirements that the Green Tree Pythons need. Also a light is helpful to maintain visual on your animal while cleaning and to see if there are any issues.
-
Bedding: There are a variety of substrates that work really well for Green Tree Pythons. Anything from Newspaper to aspen or cypress wood. Having a substrate such as cypress or coconut will also help you maintain their humidity requirements.
-
Feeding: Never feed a snake a meal that is larger than the snakes mid body size. When you purchase a snake from us we will tell you their feeding schedule and what we are currently feeding them. Juvenile Green Tree Pythons should be fed every 5-7 days. Adults (over 2 years of age) can be fed every 10-14 days however can be fed more or less.
-
Water: Having a large water bowl in the enclosure will help you maintain the Green Tree Pythons humidity requirements as well as giving them an adequate place to drink from. Misting several times a day will help to maintain humidity requirements as well as make sure that your Green Tree Python doesn't get dehydrated.
-
Humidity: 40% - 70% we accomplish this by having automatic misters on our Green Tree Pythons as well as a large water bowl within the enclosure.
