Frequently Asked Questions
General
Here are some of the more common FAQs.
SlitherStation is a modular, portable, screen-enclosed enrichment station designed for pet snakes.
It provides a secure, escape-resistant space where snakes can explore, exercise, and engage in natural behaviors—both indoors and outdoors—while giving owners peace of mind.
Available in a range of sizes, SlitherStation is ideal for hobbyists, breeders, and educators who want to offer enrichment beyond a traditional glass or PVC terrarium.
Each SlitherStation model is field-tested using a variety of snake species — including active climbers, strong-bodied constrictors, and escape-prone colubrids to assess escape resistance, structural integrity, and behavior enrichment outcomes.
We observe climbing, slithering, basking, and resting behaviors while also ensuring the mesh, seams, and fasteners resist tampering or escape attempts.
SlitherStation models currently include:
LAUNCHPAD (5’x5’x5’x5’: ideal for snakes up to 6’)
FLEX (5’x10’x5’x10’: ideal for snakes up to 9’)
EXPLORE (10’x10’x10’x10’: ideal for snakes up to 12’)
COMING SOON:
TREK (10x15x10x15)
RANGE (15x15x15x15)
FRONTIER (20x20x20x20)
HABITAT PRO (25x25x25x25)
Unlike static glass tanks, racks or rigid PVC cages, SlitherStation is lightweight, modular, and built for active enrichment with space for climbing branches, hides, water features and temperature gradients.
It promotes movement and exploration in a secure, breathable environment.
It’s collapsible, portable, and allows natural sunlight and airflow—making it ideal for temporary setups, outdoor or indoor use, as a supplemental play/exercise space, travel, or temporary setups during cleaning, training, or socialization.
Yes! SlitherStation stations are designed for supervised outdoor use and built to withstand all weather conditions.
The breathable mesh allows airflow and natural lighting, making it ideal for controlled sun exposure and sensory enrichment.
Always set it up on relatively level ground, keep it shaded in hot weather, and monitor your snake to prevent overheating or dehydration.
It's ideal for patios, porches, yards, or even taking your snake on a park outing.
YES, but SlitherStation is not recommended for handling or housing venomous snakes unless used by trained professionals in controlled environments.
While the enclosure is highly secure, venomous species require additional safety protocols, containment layers, and local regulatory compliance.
Always follow regional laws and professional guidelines for venomous species.
Very portable.
Each model breaks down into compact components that can be stored or transported in a duffel-sized bag (SlitherBuddy coming soon!).
Setup is easy and requires no tools.
This makes SlitherStation ideal for travel, educational demos, expos, outdoor sessions, or use across multiple rooms or facilities.
