What Kind of Snake2007-11-24 2:03:42

I am thinking of getting a Pet snake. I haven't owned a snake yet, and I was wondering what breed would make the best pet, and Why? Please take into account, I have yet to have a pet snake.

Answers:

i suggest you do tons of research, and select a smaller snake to start, ive had everything from c/b yellow anacondas to garden snakes. garden snakes are very low maintanence not a bad choice. pythons and boas are popular. depends what YOU like my screename here is my instant messenger and email name as well feel free to get in touch to ask more specific questions or advice.

Get a trouser snake.

a cornsnake is the best option. they are very very tame, and perfect for beginners. I had my first snake (a cornsnake) shipped to me from www.cornsnakes.net and they have some many options when it comes to coloration.

I have NO experience with pet snakes so my advice may be of little value. I do have two acquaintances who have pet snakes and both seem to prefer the smaller exotic Boas. Talk to someone at the pet shop and get one of the more hearty animals. I have been told that some breeds are very fragile and can only thrive in a small range of temperatures and humidity.

Good Luck. At the very least it will be an interesting experience.

start with a ball python or a boa ! theyre very common =) there are alot of morphs too =P search bobclark o the net =P

get a ball python very easy to take care of. do some research on them before though so you know everything to get for it.

I have heard corn snakes are good to start with. Definitely check up on how large the snake will eventually grow to. You don't want to get a boa or something that is going to get 8+ feet long.
