And that's it! You have a lovely, warm, snuggly new pet snake that no one, not even those that fear snakes, will be able to resist.


Heating Instructions
Coil up and place on a microwave safe plate. Heat on full power in increments of 20 seconds. Do not heat for longer than 2 minutes.

Adding Essential Oils
This can be done one of two ways. You can either dilute the essential oil in a spray bottle with a small amount of water, shake it up, and spray it directly onto the snake after heating. OR you can place the rice into a zip-lock baggie, add 5-6 drops of the oil of your choice (lavender and chamomile are excellent choices), close the seal on the bag and shake it up. Leave in bag until you are ready to add the rice to the snake.
