Snakes Reviews

Royal Python. The Royal Python is a very docile member of the python family often called the ball python as rather than attack when threatened curls up into a tight ball. The best environment I noted was a 4 foot by 2.5 foot glass fronted tank with a heat mat which must remain covered, I prefer 2 pieces of suitable carpet as ...  Read the complete review

The snake I am writing about it the Corn Snake. I have always been a reptile person, and although my husband prefers the fluffy animals, snakes have always been something I have wanted, though my mum and dad would never let me have one, and I had a tortoise instead, who was funky but she was adopted by my mum when I moved!!! So when ...  Read the complete review

Snakes and other reptiles make up "Herps" and Herpetoculture is currently the fastest growing sector of the pet industry, both in the UK and abroad. Fortunately, snakes are no longer given such a bad hype due to ignorance and fear, and many people are beginning to realise that these animals flourish in captivity and make great pets. The ...  Read the complete review

I will be the first to admitt that snakes are something most people wouldnt even concider having as a pet but we have had quite a few over the years. Bella our beautiful boa constrictor is the latest addition to our snake family. Boas are available from most reptile shops and depending on what size and markings it has depends ...  Read the complete review

hey i am a keeper of snakes and many other species of exotic animals and was just on her to say that it would not be far to outlaw the keeping of reptiles. The reason i say this is anything with teeth can bite, your pet dog that you have had for 4 or 5 years can turn on you at any given moment along as with any other animal. And also think about ...  Read the complete review

The snake I have is half rat and half corn. I have had it for 15 months now and it has almost trebled in size since I bought it. It is a green/brown colour mostly but also has yellow and orange on its side. It has lovely markings like small rings on its back. The only major disadvantage is that it eats mice which are bought frozen and ...  Read the complete review

I bought a boa constrictor - a baby one - and what a lovely pet it was to have. In honesty, i have never been frightened of much of anything and looked on Cassie, as i called her, as a new challenge. However, what the pet shops don't tell you is, there is one heck of a lot of work attached to these reptiles. First, i bought her a wooden log for ...  Read the complete review

This is the first thing I ask people to bear in mind when buying a snake- The python has, and I fib no fibs, 318 pairs of ribs. In stating this I place reliance on a séance with one who died for science. This figure is sworn to and attested; He counted them while being digested. The second thing I ask ...  Read the complete review

I was recently lucky enough to acquire a very large and rather exotic looking snake. A very close friend gave it to me. He thought it would give me endless hours of pleasure. He wasn't wrong! I am loving it! I have been carrying out exhaustive research, spending every night trying out all the things that might make the little chap ...  Read the complete review

This opinion won't be too popular I don't imagine and really I do understand for those of you that may hate it. I grew up in a family that thought snakes were about the worst creature you could come across. The word was rarely even spoken!So naturally I picked up the fear of snakes. Now that I am older and wiser(ha ha)I ...  Read the complete review

I keep many snakes but not as pets. Snakes are never going to be a cute cuddly little friend that you can enjoy, conversely they are evil and vile I of course you should remember that Satan was cursed to be a serpent, moving on his belly eating dust-is that your idea of a pet? I keep snakes because they are an integral part of any true ...  Read the complete review

I cant understand why people dont like snakes, mind you having said that I hate spiders and I suppose all spider lovers would say the same thing about me! Ive always loved snakes, they're lovely little (or not so little as the case may be!) creatures. Generally my first piece of advice BEFORE buying your first snake would be ...  Read the complete review

I have had snakes in the past, and if I got the oportunity to have another one I would be more then delighted. What devine pets they are. I get really irritated with people who see or hear the word snake and totally freak out, I mean what for? Okay they aren't cuddly, cute, soft, warm and they aren't the best company, BUT, they are ...  Read the complete review

If Houdini were a snake, nobody would be impressed with his escape acts! If you are thinking of getting a snake, great care should be paid, particularly to it`s enclosure. Snakes can collapse their bones, to fit in the tiniest hole. They also possess incredible stregnth, that becomes apparent, as we find it has escaped by knocking the weights we ...  Read the complete review

In the mid 1970's to early 80's, my husband and I owned a small tropical fish shop specialising in freshwater and marine fish, reptiles and amphibians. As well as selling snakes in the shop, we also kept several snakes as pets at home. There were two snakes that were memorable for very different reasons; this is the story of Rocky. ...  Read the complete review

Although I have not got any snakes at present, I have had over twenty-year’s experience of keeping them. They are an ideal pet to keep as they are quiet, don't need much exercise and the larger species do not need feeding very often, but owning a snake brings a lot of responsibility and thought must be given as to what one to have. ...  Read the complete review

Snakes, in my opinion, do make excellent pets. We have 3, 2 Russian Ratsnakes and an albino corn snake. There are rules to follow when considering a snake for yourself and your family ( especially if the 'keeper' is a child. ) The most important thing is size. How big is the thing going to get ? Corn snakes are generally ...  Read the complete review

The snake was something I had to learn to accept when I met my partner. Although not terrified, I cannot admit to being enthralled by the idea of a snake. However, when it comes to interesting, easy to keep pets, snakes must come top of the list. Last Christmas my boyfriend came to stay for a week as did the snake. In my kitchen aswell!! ...  Read the complete review
