And about "cover", I know that many here like to use artificial plants, but when your new snake is being quarantined to make sure there's no mites, you probably
don't want to invest in decor that will have to be thrown away should any mites show up, but that doesn't mean your snake should have no "clutter" to help him
feel secure. Snakes enjoy all the crevices & folds of crumpled paper to hide in & under (paper towels or other kinds of clean disposable paper) -they aren't "interior
decorators" that actually care about appearances, as long as they can hide. Cardboard rolls from paper towels will also be used, & you can even put them between
layers of paper...all of that will make them feel safer, encourage them to explore & ultimately settle in as good pets. Clean cardboard boxes can also be modified &
used for snakes, & tossed when soiled after they've served their purpose.
