One more thing to think about. As one who works with lots of different species and types of snakes/reptiles, they all tend to want the same thing, but do it differently.



While most folks have the mistaken idea that snakes live in our world, they are mostly wrong. Most snakes, particularly, kings and specifically Glossys. Live underground. In the case of A.elgans, they rarely ever work the surface. Only to move to another underground area. I have found that if you offer their needs, heat and food, in a way they understand, they do so much better and often surprise you as to what they are.



In most cases the cause of picky snakes is hydration. Glossys appear to avoid dry air as they are thin skinned. Just something to think about. Best wishes
