A)a cage that is made of wood
B)several heat rocks spread out through the cage
C)a container of water large enough to allow it to be totally submerged
D)commercial reptile sand and reptile litter as the substrate for its cage

Accepted Answer

All snakes require access to water, either through a water dish or a container large enough for them to soak in. Option A is not ideal as wood can absorb moisture and harbor bacteria. Option B is not recommended as heat rocks can cause burns and uneven heating. Option D is not suitable as reptile sand can cause impaction if ingested and litter may not provide a suitable substrate for all snake species.
