So yer, thinking of getting a Snake, always wanted 1, but the room I was In was a bit small and It's hot In the Summer anyway so a Snake Tank would be horrible.

I'm moving Into a much bigger room so It's ok now.
I want something not too huge, no more then 6ft.
What breed would you recommend and what size Tank?

Thanks guys

would this be your first snake ?

if so i`d be looking at kingsnakes , milksnakes , some species of rat snake , rosy boa`s , childrens pythons

Sorry for being the grammar police but if it's a snake it would be a species haha :P

King snakes, milk snakes or corn snakes maybe? Quite easy to handle and not tooooo huge.

Rest in peace my lovely furfamily that are no longer with us.

royal pythons are nice too , just make sure you see them feeding BEFORE purchase!

Good point!

I would recommend a royal python too, they're slow, chunky, placid snakes and are very easy to care for, as other have said make sure you see them feeding before you buy it as they are notorious for getting to feed as i found out with mine, thankfully there are a few techniques and places to find out about them if this should happen but otherwise they are fantastic!!!

Also possibly a dwarf boa? Boa's are faster than royals but can be just as placid and are more curious and lively, I generally don't recommend corn/rat/king snakes as they are very fast and can be quite bitey snakes, not to mention i've had a few instances of being pooped on by them which could put people off them, milk snakes are fast too but the ones i've met are very calm, as are African House Snakes

some rat snakes calm down very nicely tho! as do milks and kings. i keep all types and have never had a problem , they are just nippy when babies as are most snakes some boa`s can be the same but they ALL calm down eventually with gentle handling. theres no denying kings / milks / corns are probably the easiest of snakes to look after and are often recommended as excellent starter snakes. some rat snakes do grow considerably large though so it`s best each species / type were researched further.

it`s nothing to do with grammer , there are many types (species) of snake , you can`t just say or advise someone to go out and buy a boa , rat snake or python when there are so many different types (species).
a python can be as little as 4ft or over 20ft , theres a big difference.

Thanks for the reply guys, sorry havent been on In a while.
Looks like I have a while to make my choice anyway as no pet stores around here have them until after X-mas.

Either a Royal or dwarf boa sound ideal, but I didn't quit understand why you said watch them feed first?
Did you mean they tend to be aggresive when getting their food or they are hard to feed?

royals can be tricky feeders so it`s always best to see a royal python feeding before purchase so you know the snake is feeding fine.
