What snake is best for me?
I am brand new to snakes, but I have always had a huge interest in snakes, and lately I have been doing a lot of research on them. I recently got the chance to interact with a bull snake, and I fell in love with her. I love her size, her energy level, everything about her. Sadly, they seem to be very rarely available where I live. I do like colubrids, and possibly pythons. Is there a snake that fits the below requirements:
6-7ish foot range
Somewhat active(moves around the cage a bit, but is handleable)
Doesn't need super high humidity or temperature ranges(I can for sure supply heat mats under the cage, and I can mist the cage daily if needed)
Is a pretty good eater
Not likely to bite or musk
Is about the same girth as a bull snake (thicker than a corn snake, but thinner than a bull snake)
Typically has a reasonable upfront cost(around $100-$150ish)
Would a carpet python fit most of these requirements? I haven't done a ton of research on them, but they seem to fit most of the requirements.
