Decisions, Decisions
Ugh so I keep waffling on this subject. Let me explain. There is a show in town end of Sept that I am going to. That I may or may not get a snake at. When I first was looking to get back into the hobby I was going to start with a corn. Went to a pet store, didn't have what I wanted in regards to morphs. I saw a hognose and fell in love with the little guys. (see why I need help haha) I got my hognose almost a month ago. He's shed, had two meals so far and cruising around his tank. Even came out a little to get a good sniff of me. Love how he just hold his tongue out longer to get a better sample of me.
So that gets me started on thinking about my next snake that I'd like to get at the show. Now I'm not too sure about getting a corn yet until I have more space (or until I can save up for staking tanks). I have a 20gal long stand that's sitting there doing nothing in my closet. So I want to keep it to two maybe three snakes total. Now here's where I'm waffling. I'm not sure what to get, other than nothing bigger than a corn, something that doesn't need high humidity and something that's a little more laid back than the hognose. Of course I saw baby tarantulas the other day and had the crazy thought I needed a tarantula. I'm going to drive myself crazy if I don't have a set goal ahaha. I might even decide to just stick with the one snake for now and think about another in a year or so. Or I could just not find a snake that calls to me.
I have a list of possible snakes I am interested in:
corn
African house
children's python
spotted python
Rosy boa (tho I've heard they might have feeding issues)
I wouldn't turn my nose up to another hognose, especially a tricolor, but from what I gathered they are harder to find.
I was also playing around with the idea of a ball python but I worry about their eating habits also.
I liked the idea of a rubber boa, but the only way I can get one is if it is gifted to me (fat chance of that) or I go collect one from the wild. I want to get more experience before dealing with a WC.
Anyway, if you're still with me after this long winded post, any suggestions on snakes I haven't got listed? Or experience with the ones I do have listed? Advice to keep me less confused and crazy haha
