Pine Snake Northern behavior

The Northern Pine Snake is one of the largest North American snakes. They can be somewhat aggressive when first introduced to captivity, but they generally settle down once they are used to their new environment.

The Northern Pine Snake spends much of its time in underground burrows. When threatened, the Northern Pine Snake will usually hiss and vibrate its tail before it strikes. Some hobbyists have reported that Northern Pine Snakes may become stubborn eaters, though others have reported that the opposite is true. If you want to ensure that your Northern Pine Snake does not become a stubborn or problem eater, some have suggested feeding rats from early on. Hatchlings may be switched from mice to rats as early as possible. Feeding pinky rats from an early age should make them accept rats later in life.
