223: Why Your Snake Hides All Day & How to Change it | Victoria Teague - AAH

Victoria Teague of PassionateSnakes discusses her experience with various species of snakes, primarily in the colubrid variety when it comes to her specific enclosure design to help snakes feel more comfortable out in the open. Victoria talks about her Mandarin Rate Snake as the motivator for creating an enclosure that she would see the snake more often in, discussing the need for shelving and hiding spaces built within the enclosure. She also briefly discusses her recent health journey, talking about how her recent focus on herself has created more motivation and happiness in keeping her reptile species more effectively. Victoria shares details of her future projects, non-bioactive enclosures, enclosure design advice, and her experience on a husbandry Facebook group as well.SHOW NOTES:https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/223-victoria-teague/JOIN US ON PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeSPONSOR:https://www.thebiodude.com/LINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Victoria’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionatesnakes/Victoria’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCShhX-oiKYUXXMIj79v6-3wAdvancing Herpetological Husbandry: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AdvancingHerpHusbandry/Video Clips and Photos Used in Episode:Victoria’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionatesnakes/00:00 Introducing Victoria Teague of Passionate Snakes2:32 The Bio Dude Substrates + Dietary Supplements3:07 Welcome Victoria + Beginnings in Reptile Keeping8:04 Victoria’s Boa + The Enclosure10:14 Colubrids and Boas13:44 Mandarin Rat Snakes + Behaviors of Snake Species17:20 Victoria’s Health Journey + That Connection to Animal Keeping23:55 Choosing Snake Species + Keeping the Interest30:02 Designing Enclosures for Behaviors32:53 The Bio Dude Substrates + Bug Grub33:54 Non-Bioactive Enclosures with Plants36:24 Shelving Spaces in Snake Enclosures44:18 Feeding Snakes + Any Issues with Feeding45:57 Cleaning Challenges with Non-Bioactives50:42 Enclosure Setups: Heating + Lighting + More54:47 Tips for Victoria’s Enclosure Replication55:57 Future Species + Upcoming Projects58:16 Advancing Herpetological Husbandry Facebook Group1:00:30 Closing Thoughts
