Welcome to Cookie's Critters.
In todays tutorial, we are demonstrating how to setup a tub/enclosure for a baby snake (hatchling snake).
Hatchling snakes need to be housed in a small tub/enclosure to feel safe and secure. This will ensure that you have the appropriate temperature gradient and that the snake will maintain a healthy eating routine.
When providing heat for the hatchling snakes tub, ensure that it is regulated by a good quality thermostat. This will prevent the snake from becoming too hot or too cold. The rule of thumb is approximately 1/3 of the tub to be heated.
We use paper towel for the first 12 months of the snakes life for ease of cleaning and ease of identifying any possible health issues. After 12 months we move our yearling snakes into larger tubs and enclosures using butchers paper and loose substrate.
The baby snake should have access to a minimum of one hide but preferably two. One should be placed on the hot side and the other placed on the cool side. Make sure to choose a hide that is appropriate to the size of the snake, bearing in mind that snakes like to hide in tight small places.
The cool side of the tub should also have a water bowl. The water bowl should be large enough for the snake to coil up and submerse themselves in the water.
