QUICKCARE for RHINO RATSNAKES (Rhynchophis boulengeri)

Check out our Snake Pro Pack

Day temps- 72-85 degrees F
Night temps- 68-80 degrees F

Setup- We use long shoeboxes for babies and juvies, and 2 ft. arboreal cages for adults and breeders. Cypress mulch (or soil) substrate, hot and cool hide spot, good sized water bowl (for soaking), basking spot of 90 degrees, and being a semi arboreal species, climbing areas (we use cork bark flats and tubes, as well as our monitor wood stacks).

Daily care- Mist substrate lightly once a day. May soak and perch throughout the day. Spot clean as necessary.

Feeding- Feed one appropriately sized mouse once a week. Babies can be shy feeders, typically best results are overnight.

Notes- These snakes are kept in our coolest room. These guys are typically non aggressive but fragile as babies.
