Hey guys/gals,
New to the forum, new to snake keeping and looking for a little guidance on breeds. I've been reading till my eyes are throbbing and I've got it about narrowed down to the snake I'd like to start off with.
I'm considering a western hognose, a ball python or possibly a spotted python. The ball would be safe aside from feeding issues, the spotteds have been said to eat better and aren't so critical with humidity. And the hog nose just sounds like a little rascal which I think is right up my alley. I have also considered corns, house snakes, and kings none of which really thrill me like the others.
I know a lot of yall own/breed outside of the hogs...I'm interested if there is a snake or two I've missed in my list? I'm interested in animals with a bit of character that are hardy enough to handle a mistake or two as I dwelve into this new hobby. I'm not particularly interested in the morphs and paint jobs (though I think it's quiet cool)...would prefer just a well balanced critter. I understand that hogs are rear fanged with toxic saliva, which is ok with me.
Any suggestions or insight would be much appreciated. All the best.
Semper Fi,
Derek
