Can I pick up my purchase locally?
We can make arrangements for you to pick up your new snake in person. If the distance is within reason, we will come to you or meet you halfway. Local sales taxes are required for local pickup or delivery.
Can I have my new baby shipped to me?
We ship animals using an established reptile shipping service, Reptiles Express. Please contact us with any questions and provide your ZIP code for a shipping quote. See our Store Policy for more information.
How do I prepare for my new snake friend?
Husbandry is often debated in the reptile community. Tubs or glass? Lamps or heat mats? Frozen or live? I've found that if your snake is happy and healthy, then you're probably doing great! You don't need to do what everyone else does, but it does help to do your research and know your options! If you'd like to discuss your options or get some tips, then send us an email or text and we'll make sure you have everything you need. Don't forget to check out our Care Guide.
What do you feed your hatchlings?
While all of our hatchlings start with live mice, we make every effort to transition our hatchlings to frozen/thawed rats while they are here. The specific prey type for each hatchling will be listed in its ad.
I've had my snake for a while, but I still have questions.
