Newbie on a budget...
Hey guys this is my very first post in this forum.
I知 new to the world of reptiles and I知 amazed at the sheer beauty of them, thus, i have decided to enter the world by starting with a snake. I have narrowed down my choice to these two snakes now I just need to decide between them both.
Corn Snake(｣60) or Royal Python(｣60/｣90)?
Could you please post some advice on the two above snakes stating their advantages and disadvantages.
Also I知 on a budget regarding the vivarium, I have a fish tank which is 20*12*12inches (length*width*depth) that has a plastic lid. How would u recommend using the tank? On its side with some sort of hinged door? Upright with the plastic lid weighted down to prevent run-aways?
I would also like to have some sort of housing in there such as a coconut shell, I have searched the forum but cannot find any information on making these, any advice much appreciated.
What would be the most suitable flooring for these snakes? Bark?
I have been offered two typed of Royal Python, assisted feeding (｣90) and non-assisted(｣60). Which would you advise? Are they easy to train to feed or do they require a lot of knowledge. I have purchased a small book on keeping snakes but it does not have much information regarding training the snake to eat.
Sorry about all of the questions but I want to know how to provide the best care for the snake before I get it.
