Snake Supplies
Keeping a pet snake requires a detailed plan. While they may be less high maintenance than a Golden Retriever, your snake still needs your attention to thrive. Luckily, Petco has some of the best pet snake products for a happy reptile. We can help you choose a terrarium, outfit it with the right substrate and decorate the space.
You’ll find a lot of stuff for snakes online and at your neighborhood Petco Pet Care Center, including live food and décor. If you just brought home your first pet snake, check out this New Reptile Guide and start shopping for the essential solutions all reptile pet parents should have.
The most important solutions are the food you’ll feed your reptilian friend. At Petco, our snake food for sale includes everything from insects—like worms and roaches—to live and frozen rodents. Talk to your exotic veterinarian to determine the dietary needs of your pet. You can set up repeat deliveries for your frozen rats so you never run out unexpectedly.
Your pet must have enough room to coil up and stretch out in their habitat. Our snake store has homes of various sizes and shapes, so you can always find what you need to house snakes of nearly any size. These include vertical terrariums, habitats with doors and more. We also have desert starter kits and terrariums that include heat lamps. While you’re at it, you can pick up terrarium screens and clamps to help keep your pet secure.
Some snakes need ample heat and light to stay healthy. At Petco, you can choose from dome lights and fluorescent fixtures that simulate daylight, plus mini dome heat lamps for basking. You can also install a heat mat if you live in a very cold climate and worry your pet isn’t warm enough. It’s also a good idea to bring home thermometers that help you keep track of your snake habitat’s temperature for optimal health. Some thermometers even double as humidity gauges.
Your snake supplies should also include accessories that simulate their natural environment and stimulate activity. These may consist of cork hideaways, desert plants and stone décor they can coil against or use for basking. Not only can these accessories make the terrarium more fun to look at, but they also give them a place to hide and feel secure. Tropical snakes may appreciate a variety of foliage in their habitat to make it feel cozier.
