Snake Enclosure Melbourne
Waterlife Aquarium and Reptile Supplies is the perfect place to find the best snake enclosure in Melbourne. We are located at Hoppers Crossing and Ferntree Gully, and we have an outstanding stock of snake enclosures that suit your needs.
There are two types of snake enclosures you can choose from. One type is made from Melamine Timber, and the other type is made of Glass. We will explain the difference between these two types further down the page.
So first, we would like you to check out the video below of some of the different types of snake enclosures we have for sale.
Glass and Wooden Snake Enclosures
Between the two types of snake enclosures, GLASS snake enclosures are easier to maintain. They last longer than Wood Melamine snake enclosures. Glass enclosures are better suited for semi-aquatic species.
On the other hand, Wooden Melamine snake enclosures will deteriorate over time. Being made of timber, they require extra care, particularly in using water while cleaning. It is recommended that you use a small amount of silicone around all the wood joints to stop water from seeping into the gaps and swelling the timber.
WOODEN snake enclosures are much better at holding temperature as heat escapes through glass quicker than wood. Concerning the price, pens made from either glass or melamine are about the same.
One thing you need to be aware of is ALL reptile enclosures need to have adequate ventilation. Adequate ventilation means that there will be no condensation build-up on the inside of the glass enclosure. Ventilation is essential as humid environments for most desert-dwelling snakes and lizards will cause respiratory infections.
Both our Melamine Wooden Enclosures and our Glass Enclosures for sale at our store have the recommended level of ventilation, allowing sufficient airflow. Irrespective of what type of enclosure you choose, you will need to add the correct lighting and heating according to the animal you are keeping.
Check out the video below of some of our range of heating and lighting options.

Snake/Python Care Sheets
Learn how to take care of your snakes/pythons by downloading these care sheets.
Do Snakes/Pythons Need UV Light?
For many years reptile keepers have been under the assumption that they do not require Ultra Violet Light. UV light regulates the production of Vitamin D3, which allows pythons/snakes to absorb and metabolise calcium properly.
Most keepers have kept their animals without UV for many years without any issue as they believe that the python will get enough calcium from the rats and mice they are feeding. Correct!
There is enough calcium in their food, but does their body absorb the calcium into their system well enough without the UV Light? It is where you, as a snake keeper, need to decide as there is so much conflicting information.
In summary, the UV light will have a benefit for your snake or python.
Snake Caves and Hideaways
You must keep your snake enclosure stress-free to maintain optimum health for your snakes. It is natural for snakes to hide in holes under rocks and logs to protect themselves from predators. It would help if you supported this natural behavior by offering some hiding spots inside the snake enclosure.
Our reptile department at Waterlife Aquarium has a great range of snake caves and hideaways to choose from.
