Feeding & Nutrition

Offer appropriately sized, fully thawed whole rodents. Confirm the current prey size and feeding schedule at collection; juveniles generally feed more frequently than adults. Adjust portions to body condition and do not use plain muscle meat as a staple. Routine calcium dusting is not needed for balanced whole prey. Provide fresh water daily.

Routine Care

Check temperatures, humidity, appetite and behaviour daily. Replace drinking water and remove waste promptly. Clean bowls and contaminated furnishings regularly; monitor weight and shedding. Arrange advice from an exotics vet for persistent changes in appetite, breathing or movement.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animal’s current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.

Live Animals Are Click & Collect Only
