He does seem very young... unless your co-parent is especially interested in a reptile she would have to care for, I would keep reptiles as something extra exciting at daddy house. That means the reptiles are also something your son can look forward to at your house.

I second this.

Third vote for this. 3 years old is pretty young. But if mom has her own interest in reptiles and would enjoy the pet as well, then that's cool. I agree with others that an adult or subadult corn snake or AFT would be a good choice, though. The feeding flexibility of snakes is definitely an advantage, though.
