Coolest first and Last (till i move out) Snake
So, I am hoping to buy my first snake in a few months, and I am trying to decide on the species. I have read that corns are usually the best beginner snake. But I was looking for something a bit cooler (not that corns aren't cool, just something a bit more out of the ordinary than it) so I have looked hognose, African egg eater... Do you guys have any thoughts about this? I have wanted a snake forever and have done research for years on how to care for snakes in general. I am looking for something relatively small, probably under 5ft, and something larger than a hognose. Any thoughts or advice (I am open to constructive criticism if you guys think I should go with something like a corn). My main reasoning for this is that I will be able to have one snake for probably the next 3/4 years if not more (college...) so I want it to be a species a bit more out of the ordinary. Also one that is easy enough to care for, and if is a species known for biting or things like that, than it is still not a big problem as I do not mind being bitten by snakes and do not react (for the snakes sake). I have plenty of experience with aggressive wild snakes, and know well things like body language and general times not to handle (a few days after eating, shed...) Any thoughts?
