"Hi! My name is Sarah I am coming to you today from Pet Land in Pembroke Pines, Florida and on behalf of expertvillage.com I am going to speak with you a little bit about choosing a pet snake. While some species of snakes may hibernate in the wild it is very important that you do not try to hibernate your snake in captivity. This can be very dangerous to your snake as it is not normal for them in captivity and can result in the death of your snake. It is important to locate your snake’s cage in the place where it will get too cold and where you can properly maintain your snake’s cage temperature. Keeping your snake in an environment where the temperature is low can result in illness and infection, which will need to be addressed by your reptile veterinarian.
