Where to buy snake food

You may witness behaviors that indicate your snake is hungry such as the snake becoming more active in its enclosure or an increased number of tongue flicks. One of the biggest challenges that a snake owner may face is when their reptile refuses to eat. Snakes are ectotherms meaning that they cannot regulate their own body temperature, they are solely dependent on the ambient temperature of their environment which can directly affect their appetite.

Some snakes will not eat during their shed cycle, normally it is easy to tell if a snake is in shed by their milky colored eye caps. If your snake refuses to eat over an extended period of time you may consider trying a few of the following tips:. Feed at Night Most captive snakes are nocturnal so try feeding your snakes at night before going to bed. If your snake does not take the prey item immediately then try leaving it in the cage overnight. Offer a Different Prey Item Some snakes may be intimidated by the size of the prey item and prefer a slightly smaller meal.

As mentioned before, you can easily feed two smaller prey items at once instead of one normal sized prey item. Some snakes prefer mice to rats or vice versa. Also, try feeding your snake a guinea pig , hamsters , gerbils , chicken or quail. Most snakes will readily accept these items when all other attempts fail. Mimic Live Motion Pick up the prey item with a pair of tongs or forceps and move it across the cage mimicking a live animal. Bearded Dragon Food. Snake Food. Crested Gecko Food. Chameleon Food.
