Hey everyone

Hello all, I am new to this forum as well as the reptile world. I have never owned a snake or any other reptile, but I have decided that I want to get a snake. Ever since I was a kid my favorite animal has been the emerald tree boa. I always used to draw them in class and whenever I went to the zoo they would be the first animal I'd go look at. However, after reading about them it seems that they would be a poor choice for my first snake. Thus, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a ball python as they seem like a good snake for beginners. As I am completely new to the reptile world, any advice you all might have for me with starting out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
