Put 2" of this litter in your rats' litter pans once per week. Only clean the outside of the litter pan to encourage rats to continue using it!

Pet Kingdom is the BEST pet store of all time! They not only carry all of the supplies you will need for your new snake(s), but their staff is incredibly knowledgable about all of the species they carry, unlike most pet stores.

All snakes need two hides - one on the cool end of the enclosure and one over the heating element, so they always feel safe!

We swear by Animal Plastics cages for all of our Boas. Young boas start out in a Ball Python rack, then wneh they reach 24" in length, they move up to this 4' x 2' x 2' cage. When they reach 6' long, they move up to the 8' x 4' x 4' model for the remainder of their lives. For the larger size, don't forget to order the heat panel!

Cement mixing pans make great water dishes for snakes! We like this one because it's sturdy and can fit a whole small-medium boa in it when they need to.
