Next Pet?

Should I get a Ball Python, a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, a Tangerine Honduran Milksnake or a Rose Haired Tarantula?

If Ball Pythons didnt fast, I would say Bp. The problem with them is the fasting. Oh man its frustrating. Im not sure if every BP does it but when they do it gets old fast. So my vote was for the milk. Ive heard nothing but good things from them so far and oh man are they pretty! Good luck on your decision!

Get a tarantula! You will love it! They are easy to care for and don't take up much room allowing you to get more reps later.

I voted ball python but sometimes it takes me an hour to get him to eat, other times he strikes straight away but they are really nice and calm, very relaxing unlike my hyperactive corn snake!

Ummm instead of asking our oppinion on what you should get. How bout reading all of their care needs and see which one you would be more able and willing to meet?

Because I have read the caresheets already and I just wanted to see others opinions.

Id take the brazilians off the list for a first. The can be pretty picky in their care needs ecspecially the humidty. If im correct they arent as lenient as the ball pythons would be. But out of those i went with the hondoran. And the type you picked is very beautiful the Tang

Yeah, I also took out Brazilians. At least for now. I only have two snakes. It's now a tie in my mind between the Honduran and the Ball. lol

Well BallP's are GREAT pets. Very layed back, very resonable size i could go on and on. BUT, they have the tendancy to go off feed which can be very frustrating to anyone i believe. I think as long as you provide them with an adequate enclosure and obtain a CB animal from a reputable breeder, he/she should be just fine with feeding. OH and LOTS of hiding places they can easily become stressed if they feel too insecure.
