Just curious
So if I keep reading this forum I'll end up with a snake  I'm moving out in June so I may end up with one then. What's a good snake that could be kept in a relatively small rental house and isn't too hard to care for? I know milk snakes are like the universal beginner's snake but I was just curious what opinions were.

Re: Just curious
I think to good starter snakes are the corn snake and the ball python.

Re: Just curious
Is that a real (unedited) photo for your profile pic? How big does the ball python get?

Re: Just curious
Corn snakes are also good beginner snakes that don't need a lot of space.

Re: Just curious
Yes it is real. It is a San Fransisco Garter Python. Those are its real color. The ball python is a little bit bigger. A male is usually 3-4 feet and a female is like 4-5 feet. That is the average.

Re: Just curious
Wow, nice website. I'm not a fan of big, heavy snakes. Small ones are cool but the big ones kinda creep me out for some reason. That is a pretty awesome snake Garter.

Re: Just curious
Even milks and corns get pretty big! They get quite long but I guess they are not as wide around.

Garter should be first.

Re: Just curious
I have no experience with garters, so I can't confirm or deny this, but I was told that garters do not make good beginner snakes.

Re: Just curious
Along these lines, is there a pre-existing thread of good beginner aquariums/cages?
