How to Know What Breed of Snake to Choose

Understanding and choosing the right snake.

If you are a newbie to owning a snake it can be very difficult to make sure that you have the right snake. A lot of those choices depend on making sure that you are able to choose the right breed and know what to expect when it comes to the way that snakes behave and also how long some breeds live. You need to keep in mind that snakes have the ability to live for over 30 years and that means that you want to make sure that you are willing to make a commitment that long.

You also need to make sure that you completely understand the needs of the snake that you are choosing. That means that you need to understand all of the needs for cleaning as well as for feeding your snake. You will also need to know how to monitor all of the factors of the environment that your snake is living in. One thing that is very important to note is that different snakes require different kinds of temperatures based on where they are from. That means that you literally need to be ready to provide a heating lamp if it is something that your snake needs to have access to. When it comes to making sure that they are warm and safe, an environment of warmth as well as safety will make all of the difference in the world.

One thing that is also very important is that you want to make sure when you are buying your snake that you will be able to buy him at a reputable place. If something happens that your son or daughter brings home a snake and wants to keep it you want to make sure that you check with the local vet and ensure it is not an endangered species. In addition to that it is also important to do a search of your local providers and find the right breeder or pet store. When you have found the right breeder you will be able to know that you have found the pet in the right place. In addition to that make sure that you look into the background of the location by checking all of the ratings with the Better Business Bureau online so that you will have access to everything you need.

You also want to make sure that when you have a new snake that he is comfortable in his area. If your snake seems really uncomfortable you  will note that your pet is probably very aggressive. This is going to be due to the fact that the pet is not used to being in the wild and that means that by being put in a cage the animal is stressed and needs to be released to ensure that it has all of the things that it needs. When you have an animal that is used to being in a cage, it will not stress out when it is in one, it will embrace it.

In addition to that if you have adopted and taken in a wild snake, they will require frequent visits to the vet and this will get very expensive. It is very important to make sure that you are able to plan all of your expenses as well as the upkeep that is going to be required by the pet, for that reason you want to make sure that you are planning on knowing all of the details of where you snake came from as this is going to ensure that you are able to keep them safe.

When you are looking for the perfect snake, you want to get him from a breeder who will allow you to know the complete history of the location as well as everything that you may have been wondering about their history and their location. You have the ability to check them out in advance online and this is going to ensure that you are able to have access to finding the best reptiles out there. You also can plan on heading to a reptile show which will allow you to look at many different kinds of snakes and to decide which is going to be the best location for you to be able to spend your time as well as to guarantee that the quality and the origin of your snake. Without doing your due diligence and ensuring that you know where they are coming from you have no guarantees in the quality of your reptile.  Looking for a reliable pet sitter to help care for your pet snake?  We can help, give us a call for more information 770-695-3096.

Snellville Pet Sitter Talks About Why Dog Kisses Might Not Be the Best Idea for Your Health

Image
We’ve all been there; we are happily saying hello to our fluffy friend Fido when all of the sudden he gets us on the mouth with his tongue.  A thorough wiping of the mouth, gargling with water, washing our hands, and trying to remember what we last saw him licking ensues. This isn’t an experience many seek out, but getting ‘doggy kisses’ can also be something a few owners love.  While difficult to hear and common-sense for others, letting our dogs lick our mouths is bad for a number of reasons.  Here are some hard facts about what happens when people let their dogs kiss them and why we should avoid it. Why Do They Do It? Dogs love licking our mouths for a variety of reasons, but primarily because it is a classic act of submission.  In a pack, wolves would have a complicated social dance to go through based on one wolf’s relationship to the pack hierarchy.  Your dog’s interactions with you are exactly that – their expression of their place in the family hierarchy.

Pet and Owner Connection

There can be no denying the fact that we get a pet that is similar to our own characteristics. Have you ever taken a few moments though and thought about what it was that made your pet ideal ? If you think very hard about it you would be very amazed to realize that your pet is very similar to you, or at least to your thoughts of yourself. Half of the battle is determining what your traits are and how you want your pet to be. When you were thinking about getting a pet did you ever sit down and write down a list of all of the characteristics that you give off? Do you like a pet that is going to be relatively low maintenance? Do you need a pet that will only need to be fed on a daily basis and does not require much upkeep? If you are on the road, you must consider that you need a pet that is not going to be taken care of too frequently. If you are a traveler you must plan for taking care of your pet and think about all of the long term needs that you are going to have whether o
