newbie snakes

[thomas1123]

Thanks for a short summary of everthing and some new info i didn't know! lol i decided to buy a 10g tank for mine whenever i get him/her. but when it gets to be an adult i will probably move it into the 50g if i dont have another snake in it by then lol i know that they are venomous but isn't it only in their rear fangs and the only way to really get any affects of the venom is if they chew on the bitten place if i remember right. (correct me if im wrong). i have two hide and a water bowl in my tank with a fake plant. i'll check out the Zilla thermostat.
Thanks

if you are buying a 10 gallon tank, then buy a male hog. there's a chance he could live his whole life in it. and just get a bigger snake for the larger tank.

hogs are rear fang snakes, but there are confirmed deaths from them. most have been a result from allergic reaction to the venom. and yes, they really do have a to chew on you for a bit.
