Since most snakes are carnivorous, chilled rodents of the right size are their preferred source of nutrition. Instead of using a microwave or hot water to thaw frozen mice, defrosting them at room temperature is preferable. Then thoroughly clean the area where you are prepping the mice.
Using a pair of tweezers during feeding is a beneficial precaution to prevent your snake from confusing your fingers with a tasty rodent! It is essential to learn about the food preferences of your particular type of snake, because different snakes will require different diets. Ensure that the snake always has clean water available besides food. To ensure they never become thirsty, put a bowl inside the vivarium. Don't forget to clean and replenish it every day.
