My First Post!
Hello everybody. I am 16 and own a Crested Gecko. I am interested in getting a snake so i thought I would start to learn before I just jump in to things. I always wanted a reptile but just recently got in to it. I want a smaller snake that can be normally handled. Any suggestions welcome. I was thinking of a corn, milk or king snake since they don't get to big. I also saw a sand boa that I liked but am not sure how easy they are or how big they get.

Re: My First Post!
Great attitude to have, welcome to the forums! Sand boas stay pretty small.

Re: My First Post!
Hello and Welcome to the forum. I have to recommend getting a corn snake for a first time snake. I Love mine! He has always eaten very well, he is more active than my other 2 and he is more fun to handle. The only thing I will say is that it you get a really young one they are/can be flighty for a while until they get a bit larger.

Re: My First Post!
You said corns for a first time snake but I like Kings a lot more. Is there a lot of difference between the two.

Re: My First Post!
Kings have a tendency to be cannibalistic, watch out when you have em near any other snake :P

Not that you would have two snakes close enough to eat each other unless you were breeding
