It is not difficult to house a snake. The easiest cage to obtain is an all-glass aquarium, available from any pet shop. The tank should be at least as long as the snake and as wide and high as half of the snakes length. If you are buying a new snake make shaw that you buy a long enough cage to let it grow completely so it does not get cramped. Keep the vivarium away from a window of radiator so that you can keep control of the cage temperature.
