Easy snake stays under or at four feet and easy to care for as a beginner My parents are allowing me a snake with those conditions. Also requirements and housing husbandry needs. Please. So last minute. They said this as we were walking to the repticon door. Please help! Pics are welcome! Thankyou so much everyone! This is a miricle.

Re: Please! ASAP!
I don't know much about those in your wishlist in your sig, but I do know Sand Boas grow to be around a little under 2ft. And of course, they are considered beginners. Not from personal experience,just the internet.
You could also try the exhaustive method and ask all the sellers, but I think you'd be waiting quite a bit. Once again, just a conjecture.
I think those with actual experience may same the same thing, but I think this should be a bit more planned out, not just getting a snake because you can. Personally, I plan on visiting a reptile con in October and NOT buy anything. Just talking to the breeders and get contact info for when I have everything set up.

Re: Please! ASAP!
You could also go with one of the smaller Milk Snakes like Pueblan or Sinaloan
Pueblan Milksnake Care Sheet / Fact File
They are very colorful, easy to care for and readily available. Try looking at faunaclassifieds.com to see what's available and their relative costs.
Good luck and please let us know what you choose. Also, there are some very experienced snake keepers hear, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have.

Re: Please! ASAP!
Y'all won't believe this but my mom liked a ball python. Albino regular male. I'll post pic in a bit. Gonna take him home tomorrow.  I showed my mom an adult bp and she was okay with the size. She doesn't like the skuimishness of corns and kings. I keep you posted^.=.^

Re: Please! ASAP!
Congrats man, I hope he is as chill and unBP like as mine is. Always eats, doesn't seem phased by being picked up and moved even after feeding. Will hang out in the open after feeding half the time.
Did you hold him and see what his temperament was like?

Re: Please! ASAP!
When you have some extra coin a few branches for climbing would be good. Mine climbs on wood I give him and looks nice too. Other then that looks good. Digital is better then analog for sure but in time you'll get it. I'm surprised they didn't have digital but oh well something is better then nothing. If you have extra coin later you can add a second thermometer on the cold side or use a infrared gun. Good to know the hot and cold side temps though I've read as long as the hot side is consistent where it should be the snake will move back and forth as needed even if the cold side is cooler then it should be. Personally I'm just that obsessed I have extra to monitor it and it wouldn't heat the cold side enough.

Re: Please! ASAP!
Looks good. Get an infrared temp gun soon though, that will measure the surface temp where your heat mat is, as opposed to a digital thermometer which will only measure air temps.

Wouldn't a digital stat with a probe under the substrate measure the surface temperature?
