Re: Choosing the Right Species for Us -- Questions

Most snakes never stop growing. But I believe a BP will slow down around the 3 year mark.

And what's your idea of a lazy snake? One that doesn't move much at all and pretty laid back or is it you're meaning one that's easy to hold and handle....doesn't move really fast?

Other than that, a male corn should meet your criteria.
Sand Boas would be a good match adult males are around 1ft 6inch they dont require much no need to worry about humidity and they are very lazy and have good tempermants very docile

Re: Choosing the Right Species for Us -- Questions

the only snake that fits you criteria is a sand boa imho, rather easy to care for, and lazy and small, ball pythons would be #2, but a little more problems can be had with them, i have never had a sand boa so its hear say, but you said lazy, corn and everything else seem to be rather mobile. gl in your search, be sure to fill us in what you got.

I vote Garter Snake they are small and are not very hard to take care of. Plus they can be very pretty.

Biased bout Antaresias... but hey, I have all the reason to be. You can't go wrong with any of the Childrens complex.

a children's python would be sweet, if you're ok with a max of 4 ft a male BP is a good choice.
