Well mate, it all depends on what snake you go for.

An ideal first snake would be a royal python, although they can be fussy feeders. Apart from that, they're absolutely brilliant. Very docile, placid, and are easy to look after. :)

They average around £40 from pet shops, so the snake itself is inexpensive. But the bonus with royals is that they don't need a big tank. If you went for something like a boa, you'd have to start off with a small tank so it doesn't get stressed (they can become a bit stressed in too big a space, although this is more applicable for royals, hence why royals only need a smaller tank), and then move up tnak sizes as the snake grows, which is an added cost.

So, let's go with a royal. £40ish for the snake. A 3 foot tank will do for the snakes life, as they are also called "ball pythons" as they ball up when scared, but also coil up tight in their hides. The tanks you buy from petshops can be around £100 depending on size. I'm not too familiar with the prices of these as I build all my own tanks. But then you need the heat sources. This is where it can get a bit complicated, as you need to run a thermostat on each heat source. Ideally, and by far the best way to heat the ambient air temperature is with a ceramic heat emitter. This is a funny shaped bulb thing, which gives no light, only heat. They cost about £20. The thermostat for these are about £30. Royals are known to thirve on heatmats, as they prefer belly heat. But the problem with this is that heatmats can't go in a wooden vivarium. So these are used for when you keep them in a RUB (Really Useful Box). These are the plastic containers you get for storing things, but are ideal for snakes. People tend to use these when they have many snakes, as like I said, royals prefer smaller spaces, so save a lot of space if you buy more. If you're only planning on the one snake though, a ceramic will be sufficient in a viv.

Then there's all the decor you need. You'll need 2 seperate hides, one in the warm end of the viv, and one in the cool end, so the snake can regulate it's body temperature and feel safe no matter if it wants to cool down, or warm up. Water bowel. Plants. Substrate (aspen bedding is best). Food. And that's it. I'd budget about £250 for everything if you gofor a viv, and about £100 if you go for a RUB.

It's then a balancing act getting everything setup for the snake to go in.

Hmmm, I better stop typing. If you want any more advice, PM me and I'll give you any advice you need! :D

Nope :)

























In the freezer! :lol: They're all kept in one of those plastic storage containers. We have mice, rats, pinkies, and pups at any one time in the freezer :) And another box of monitor meatloaf for the monitor lizard. A mix of chicken carcass (bone, cartialage, meat), vitamins, calcium and wheatbran, all mixed up and zapped in the microwave, chopped into portions and frozen. Then removed as and when needed, defrosted and fed. Like the rats/mice :)

We also have boxes of crickets, waxworms, mealworms, locusts and the occasional box of cockroaches for food for the lizards.

Well the problem straight away is that he put the snake in an AQUARIUM! By the name itself, aquariums are for fekkin fish! A snake of that size would have no trouble breaking out of that as there's no lid specifically for a snake, so it's his own fault! It is a shame for the kid of course, but they brought it on themselves.

Vivarium with viv locks are important. It's all about precautions and not being a dumb American... :thumbsup:
