I was just a little confused as to how old of a BP would make a best first snake. Ive heard some people say get a hatchling but when I called N.E.R.D. today to see what they had available they said a subadult bout a year old would be best. Wich means said BP would be roughly 24-28 inches, their reasoning was that the subadult would be a known feeder , already on F/T and would tolerate handling better. Of course a 12-18 inch snake seems less intimidating than a 2 footer when it comes to putting my hand in the enclosure to hold him for the first time.
Just wanted to know what everyones opinion was on this.
