Hi, I have a question. I recently acquired a California Glossy Snake. I know nothing about snakes besides that like any animal they need food and plenty of water. Snakes need heat, some hiding places, as well as a large enough tank. I know it is non-poisonous, nocturnal, eats lizards and small mammals. What would you say is important that I know about keeping and handling snakes?
There is a ton more than that friend! Each individual species of snake has very specific heating and humidity requirements, cage size requirements, they need enrichment and hides, etc. What I recommend you do is find someone who owns one, and ask them for some pointers and a care sheet :) That will make it a lot easier in the long run!
