==Introduction to housing==

Captive husbandry of snakes presents several basic problems.  The biology of most free-living snakes has not been recorded and it may be impossible to match nature in a captive situation.  Improper husbandry is the most important cause of disease in snakes since it compromises a snake's immune system and leads to opportunistic infections.  Important aspects of snake husbandry include the cage environment, nutrition and water.
