Freshly killed or Thawed. At one stage I fed live, but saw to many of my snakes get wounds from rats, mice or rabbits that scratch or bite. It just causes unneccessary problems. So I prefer prekilled/thawed food, (which I breed myself) and never feed my snakes in their cages, they each have their de...

Plastic plants look attractive, last a lot longer and you get hundreds of different colours and ...
That is a fantastic set up you have there. Well done. I need something like that as well. With the ever growing need to have my next fix comes the space problem.
Are you wanting snakes exclusively or are you considering a gecko or bearded dragon perhaps? My kids aged 5 and 8 also wanted their own snakes which we agreed to.
