First thing you need to do is find someone with a snake and get over your fear you don't want buy a snake and be too scared to change the water or feed it.

Oh I won't, Im not scared that they will slither on me, I don't mind them, just scared of wild ones cause my older brother used to torment me with gardner snaked when I was a kid

If you're scared of being bit, then colubrids are good there as well, other than a few they just nip essentially compared to pythons or boas cause they have smaller teeth and smaller heads

Oh please, it would be much more satisfying if she got something like a burm and started taunting HIM with it hahahah.

Not any more! I work with my sav all day long! She's more Liky to bite. I've seen my brother dissect water snakes, and rip apart gardner snakes, I've got into fights cause I thought it was wrong, that when I didn't know I lied herps, at one poin I hit him in the back with a baseball bat cause he took a rake to snake and hung it on a clothes line as a trophy, I'll never forget that I was 7

I had a similar experience when I was a kid, i remember getting really pissed when someone ripped the legs off a daddy longleg until it was just the middle of it.

I've certainly done my dissections of things before (not wild caught, obviously) including cadavers, but that's a bit different.. lol.

Most milks are squirrelly snakes and prone to musking..

I've only been musk like 4 times and 3 of them were adults my nelson did once when he was a baby and it was my fault

Brady, You could do fine with a Ball Python with the correct enclosure.

So what if they go off feed, that's not a law or anything, Mine has been a champion eater for the whole 5 years I have had him.

theapexgerman · 03-04-12, 08:02 PM

I have both, and a truckload of garter snakes.. I think if he wants a "Lap snake" a BP would make him happier.

Also, remember, it does not matter what any one of us prefers, in the end it will be Brady's snake, and he has to be the one happy with it.
