I'm sure there has been a thread like this in the past, but this topic can always have a fresh start. What was your first snake? And was there any particular reason you went with that snake?
Mine was a Ribbon snake that I caught in a friend's backyard. Two months later she popped out 11 babies. I had her for years and she was honestly one of the most pleasant snakes I've ever dealt with. Here she is with one of the babies.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's responses!
