Well, we finally came to a decision. We're going to get a ball python this year and a BRB next. I want him to be a little older and have a little more snake experience before we make that jump.

Stunning snakes to own and with a little patience and understanding of humidity they're easy to care for.. However as has been said, they're VERY shy species and don't do too well with excessive handling in my opinion. I never see mine out in the day time and at night she has a strong feeding response..

I believe your fully capable of caring for a Brb but it may not be the best choice for what you want from a snake ( activity and your son being able to handle it regularly.) obviously there's the risk of bites but that comes with any snake and any size.

Oh I read them all mate, but I don't like royals or keep them so I gave my opinion on the brb instead.

Royals are not my favorite either, but I think the logic and research were both very sound here, and completely support their decision. I wish more people were that thorough!!!

woohoo for ball pythons!! I have some very sweet personalities in my collection, and i recommend them for any kid...and your son is a doll!!

Thanks. The one thing I'm really trying to teach him is responsibility. Better to take it in small amounts than too much at once. If I overload him, the snake is the one that pays the price. Not fair to the snake. Let him work up to it and he'll do well.
