2. Choose an appropriately-sized habitat that gives your pet enough space to crawl and climb, and makes sure any decorations cannot injure it. 
3. Feed your snake rodents or other appropriate prey items every couple of days, making sure not to overfeed it 4 . Monitor its water from time to time and make sure it has fresh water available at all times.
4. Provide indirect heat (not underneath the basking site) but ensure that the temperatures stays consistent in the terrarium for optimal healthiness
