And yes most water snakes do need a large dry land area in wich to bask and hide
Keep it like other colubrid snake species like kings but provide a large enough water dish/pan that they can get into. You should be able to get the snake off of a fish diet and on to rodents and this will help you out a lot re: smell and cage cleaning.
looks like a nice little water snake, some people say they make great pets but others say they are horrible pets because they tend to bite and spray feces when picked up
Mine does emit musk, but he hasn't voided himself on me, yet! I was told they need a dry spot because they get blisters.Is this true?
I am keeping it for life.It's going in a 29 tonight! It is like 5-6 inches long.I will upgrade when and if needed.I just talked to a friend on AIM who told me about the wet/dry and hides plan.I also will be providing a light for basking.
One more question.What will make good hiding spots for him?
