Re: hello, I'm new! What do you think of ball pythons?

Welcome.

I wouldn't ever recommend a king snake or a hognose for a beginner.

Any particular reason why? The hognose I can understand, but my Cali King is very easy to care for, tolerates being handled, and eats his f/t feeders like clockwork.

Mostly because kings can be so food aggressive. If your first experience is with a food crazy king you may just be turned off.

Ah, that would be my MBK. Fortunately she's small enough that when she does end up biting it's merely annoying.

that is why I use a tong, because most of my snakes are very good at hitting my hand, for no reason, lol not scared, but rather be, without a fun bite
