Zheltobryuhaya snake in the house: advice on the arrangement of the terrarium and the content

In modern times, the fashion for exotic and a few non-standard animals has reached an unprecedented scale. For the most part, it is geared towards reptiles. Its weak distribution can be easily explained only by the fact that not everyone can live in the same apartment with such a neighbor as, for example, a yellow-bellied snake, a tarantula or any other peculiar animal. However, there are such lucky beggars, and in order for their interaction and harmony in relations with the pet to be established more quickly, it is necessary to acquire some knowledge.

Zheltobryuhaya snake can behave very aggressively, but it is not poisonous to humans. Of course, in order to stand up for herself, she will rush to her master, because she has not yet realized what is a pet. That is, it will temporarily be wildish, since frequent interaction with a person in its natural environment is not observed. And you can make it adapt faster. To do this, you will need to prepare a living space before you bring the snake home.

Despite the fact that your animal is called "yellow-bellied water snake," its area of residence should not be completely covered with water. It is necessary to create a room in the form of a cube and to occupy half of its territory with an artificial pool. The rest consists of branches, distributed in area in a chaotic order. We must not forget about the stern. The animal eats lizards, and adult individuals can be given large frogs. It happens that these snakes are completely transferred to mice, but in this case the food will not be of a natural nature, and they may have trouble with digestion. Even if you have planned such a change of food, it should be introduced gradually. One should remember the main thing - water should always be in the terrarium, complete drying of the reservoir is unacceptable, because then the animal will die. You can not leave it without moisture, even for several hours. To accustom the snake to your hands should be smooth, before every feeding.

There is another type of such animals - the whitish yellowtail snake. For her, you do not need to equip the pool in the terrarium. But this does not mean that it can be left without moisture. It is necessary to constantly maintain high humidity in the terrarium. In order to compensate for a small area, it is recommended to diversify it with branches. Some amateurs use live plants for this. Under your close supervision you can let the snake into the room for the "warm-up". But to proceed to this stage follows only when your pet is completely accustomed to the hands of his master.

There are such animals in nature - on the Crimean coast in March-April. Then, when they have a pairing or preparation for it. Therefore, if you look at a spotted water snake, it is undesirable to touch it or try to catch it. Remember that these reptiles are quite aggressive, especially when the pairing was planned. Despite the safety of their poison for the human body, you run the risk of becoming one of those with an allergy to it. And then the consequences will be extremely unpleasant.

In any case, the yellow-bellied snake is a beautiful domestic pet. It will necessarily become a matter of your pride. It should also be noted that these animals lead a daily life. And this means that you will be able to observe them without violating their natural regime.
