Best Snake Branches Reviewed

The walls of the enclosure and the raised items in the cage do not offer the best climbing opportunities. A snake branch gives your pet the chance to climb and feel like it is in its natural environment.

But snakes do not like chemicals like pesticides. You should make sure you get your snake pet some branches that have not been sprayed or treated with chemicals. The following are the best snake branches available.

Reptile Branches And Logs: Buyer’s Guide

For the most part, buying a snake branch comes down to personal preference. Get the one you think would look best in your enclosure.

But there are a few key things to look out for. Use these things to narrow the options down to the most appropriate, then choose among them based on your personal preference.

 

Size

It should go without saying that whatever climbing tree you buy should fit into your terrarium. At the same time, it needs to be large enough and sturdy enough to accommodate your snake species. Most of the options above are very sturdy and are also bendable. That means they will fit into almost any size terrarium.

Material

The bendable snake branches are made from metal with a PU coating. These materials are safe for your snake. Natural wood is also good. You want to avoid anything that has been treated with chemicals that can poison your pet. All of the options listed above are safe, of course.

 

Habitat Type

You snake will feel most comfortable with a reptile climbing branch that closely mimics its natural environment. All of the options above work would look natural in either a desert or a rain forest environment, since those are common natural habitats of most snake species. Obviously many species inhabit regular forests,too, but any rain forest style branch will look natural in a regular forest terrarium as well.

 

Snake Branches: Final Thoughts

Some snake owners figure they can just use branches they find lying around in a local forest, but this is not advisable. For one, you would have to replace them constantly, once they start to rot.

The other problem with natural branches is the possibility of parasites. You might unknowingly introduce a parasite to your snake’s home that could sicken, or even kill, your pet.

That is why artificial branches are generally preferred. Choose any of the above options and your snake is sure to be happy with his new climbing obstacle!
