Watersnakes

Watersnakes, commonly found in freshwater habitats, are popular among snake enthusiasts for their fascinating behaviors and manageable size. Commonly kept species include the Northern Watersnake and the Banded Watersnake. These non-venomous snakes differ in patterns and coloration, with some exhibiting bold stripes while others have subtle markings. Despite their differences, they share a semi-aquatic lifestyle, needing both water and land areas in their enclosures. Their diet mainly consists of fish and amphibians, making feeding relatively straightforward.
Owning a pet Watersnake comes with challenges. They can be shy and may require patient handling to get accustomed to human interaction. Regular cleaning of their habitat is crucial to prevent infections. These snakes need a tank with clean water for swimming, basking areas, and secure lids to prevent escapes. Their unique mix of aquatic and terrestrial needs makes them suitable for dedicated reptile keepers.
