Welcome to Snake Cages
Since I got into the snakes and reptiles hobby, I found that owning and caring for a snake is only part of the equation. The most important part is the enclosure. In fact, with most of my reptiles, I spend a lot more money on the enclosure than I do the actual animal.
It doesn’t have to be that way of course. Snake cages can be anything from a $3 plastic storage bin to a very expensive custom enclosure. As long as the snake’s needs are met properly and the enclosure is secure, it’s personal preference.
So the purpose of this blog is to discuss every aspect of snake cages. I’ll be giving tips on everything from how to build different types of snake cages, where to purchase existing cages, cage accessories, and whatever else I feel like discussing. It’s my blog right? Maybe I’ll talk fishing from time to time, or the latest crochet techniques. Who knows? But for the most part, I’ll try to stay on topic and discuss snake cages.
That’s what you came here for isn’t it?

Most snakes, in nature, burrow into very small dwellings – so although you may want a 50-gallon tank for a 5 ft python (for example), the snake itself is really not comfortable and will spend most of it’s time in the cave.
i know that 10-20 gallon tanks are great for multiple ball pythons. They enjoy some sort of cave/tunnel, water, heat and humidity.
Newspaper is laid as the ground, as suggested by our vet. No bark, sand, moss, etc.
We have a day heat lamp and a night heat lamp set on a timer. There is a heat pad under 1 side of the tank 9where the cave is)
Nice, simple, not too expensive. tank, 2 lights, tunnel, water dish, heat pad and a timer. We feed them each a dethawed frozen mouse once a week and all are happy.
