We don't have a snake, yet. But my Christmas gift to my other half this year is a snake. He's been wanting one for some time.
I have a card all done up that will say "This Year's Christmas is Snakey!"
Then we will decide upon the species together, I'll buy all the necessary things, etc.
Thing is, I've been reading up for some time on differing species. From my experience with fish species, while I know that the critters are individuals, species do have tendencies ... and there is never better accounts to read than personal experience.
So I wish to ask ... if given the following criteria, which snake species would fit the best, do you think? We will be purchasing an adult or near-adult snake.
-- Small ... 3 feet
max adult size or less. If purchasing a male of the species will match, even though female will get larger, that's fine. I don't mind being specific and asking for a male.
-- Mellow and lazy. Yes, we want a lazy snake.
-- Tolerant of beginner's mistakes.
-- Relatively uncomplicated to care for, i.e. doesn't need exact or ultra-tiny range of humidity and temps
