Before the New Year, Russians began to actively buy live snakes. According to Kommersant, the number of purchases, searches and searches on pet store websites increased by nearly 300% by mid-December.
The fact is that 2025 has been declared the year of the Wooden Snake, a symbol of growth and development. People are sure that if they buy such a pet for themselves or their loved ones, they will spend the next year in prosperity.
Corn snakes, California milk snakes and royal pythons are in particular demand. Buyers are attracted by their unusual bright colors and small size. In Moscow, people started talking about the increased demand for snakes a few months ago.
