Re: Nasty snakes?
Unfortunately, I don't have a job yet. However, I'll try getting a job at my local pet store soon.

Re: Nasty snakes?
Deffinately go with a Black Racer. I had one for about 4 years and he struck and musked me every time I went to handle him.

Re: Nasty snakes?
How is the temperament of King ratsnakes? I used the wrong words, I guess-I don't really want a vicious snake, just one that'll keep me on my toes.

Re: Nasty snakes?
If you want a snake that will keep you on your toes, you can't go wrong with a scrub python. They get big, they are fast, they are smart, and they wont' hesitate to lay the hurt on you if you arent' paying attention.
Or a red-tailed green rat snake...they are very agile and arboreal. I have heard king rat snakes are very smelly. Their other name is "Stinking Goddess snake".

Re: Nasty snakes?
I would avoid a scrub, they can get REALLY big. I would personally go for a red tailed green rat snake. I've also read white lipped pythons can be relatively cage defensive but are usually relatively docile outside.

Re: Nasty snakes?
Oooh, white-lipped bites HURT! I believe that they have the most teeth of any booid species (can't remember where I read that but it was one of my herp books)....I had a pair that got ahold of me a few times.

Re: Nasty snakes?
yeah, I've read they can be jerks, but they look fantastic IMO, amethystine, olive, timor as well. I'm a big fan of the SE Asian/Australian pythons in general.

Re: Nasty snakes?
I'm debating whether to get a beauty snake, a red-tailed green rat snake, a bamboo rat snake, or even a King rat snake. Which of these is the best option?

Also, with regards to beauty snake, a red-tailed green rat snake, a bamboo rat snake, or a king rat snake, research about all of them, find out as much as you can, and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Re: Nasty snakes?
So how big do King rats typically get? And how often do they tend to musk, and how bad does it smell?

Re: Nasty snakes?
Wait... why are we trying to discourage somebody from keeping snakes again?
