The
Red-Bellied Black Snake feeds on mainly frogs.
In the wild, this would make up 3/4 of their diet. Other than
that, anything the snake can get its mouth around, it will
eat. Rats, mice and lizards can be fed to this snake. Like
most snakes, you should always keep a water dish in the habitat,
with clean water each day. |

Cooler
temperatures are a must for the Red-Bellied Black
Snake. Keep the daytime lights on for 12 hours, and
the temperature around 79 degrees F to 85 degrees F. At night,
drop the temperature to around 70 degrees F. Use a ceramic
heat emitter at night to maintain the temperature. The humidity
level should remain around 40% at all times. |

Keep
one Red-Bellied Black Snake in a minimum
enclosure of 2.5' x 2.5' x 2.5'. They need enough room to
move around normally. Provide branches for climbing, vegetation
and hide areas. These snakes tend to be lazy as well, prefering
to bask instead of move around. Use playsand or a mulch type
flooring as a substrate. |
