Thumbs up Hello

Hi,

I am new to these forums, been here for only about a week (i think).

I come from Malta a small independent country in the Mediterranean Sea, and i am fascinated by reptiles especially snakes. We have only a few reptiles here in Malta (checkout http://www.environment.gov.mt/infobase/search.asp?cat=2 for more information).

I will be getting my first snake soon but i haven't decided what to get yet (any suggestions?), and joined the forums for some suggestions.

Thankyou,
Josef

Welcome Josef, I would suggest a ball python as the best beginner snake.

That was what i was thinking of KaHane. It's my favourite type of snake (donno why, i liked it since i was a kid).

Thanks

Welcome to sSNAKESs.com, josefg! :bounce:

I would have to say that a rosy boa is by far the best first snake to get

welcome, being in a place that may have very different laws are some types barred? Doesn't do any good to recomend a python if they aren't allowed. But balls, sand boa, elaphes, milks, kings all can be first snakes sucessfully

I would go with a cornsnake. They stay relitivly small and are in most cases extremly docile

btw

reverendsterlin: i don't know how the laws say about keeping and breeding snakes, and i don't really care . However there are several pet shops that supply snakes and put them on display, so i think it's ok to have a snake.
