What kind of decorations can I add to my snake’s enclosure?
As well as making your snake’s enclosure look the part, decorations also help your snake feel more comfortable by giving them places to hide and objects to interact with. In the wild, snakes typically live in warm, humid environments with lots of leaf litter, moss, wood, and rocks/hides. These things give your snake’s enclosure a natural look and help to maintain humidity levels, which is essential for many types of pet snakes, including corn snakes, milk snakes, and pythons.
Can I add live plants to my snake’s enclosure?
Yes, it’s possible to add live plants to your snake’s enclosure, particularly hardy varieties that won’t mind getting pushed around as your snake moves around its vivarium. If you want to create a bioactive setup, then live plants are essential as they’ll recycle a lot of the nutrients from your snake’s waste. If you do want to keep live plants, however, it’s important that you consider the size of your snake. Most small snakes won’t harm live plants, but large snakes may uproot and even crush some live plants.
