If you’ve provided a stress-free environment, regular food and water and the correct habitat temperature and humidity for your snake, congratulations — you’re an excellent snake parent!
How can you tell if your pet is healthy? Check for these signs:
Displays consistent behavior
Has clear, alert eyes (maybe not during shedding, but that’s OK)
Has a body that’s in good condition
Sheds regularly. (Growing snakes shed more often)
Eats and drinks normally
Makes a well-formed dropping two to three days after being fed
Call a vet if:
Your snake’s behavior changes suddenly
Your snake eats or drinks less, or is losing weight
There is discharge from your snake’s nose or mouth
Your snake has trouble shedding, or there are bits of old skin remaining after the rest of the skin has shed
Your snake’s droppings are runny or have red in them
