How to Introduce a Snake to a Snake Cage

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Johan Svanstrom on behalf of Expert Village. Now, when your cage is all set up try to introduce your snake to it. Now this particular snake cage is set up for a medium-size python or a rather large callubra. So I'm going to get the rascal out of this bag. This size cage is perfect for this guy here. After you put your snake in there the first time, you want to leave him alone for a little bit. I wouldn't suggest handling him for the first few days or try to feed him for the first few days. Let him get acclimated to his new environment. A lot of times when you buy snakes that have been shipped from somewhere else that have kinda been kept a little too cool maybe. You want to make sure that they are left alone and can go into their shelters and so forth. Don't be alarmed if your snake stays in its shelter for the first few days and not come out a whole lot. That's quite normal."
