Hi, I live in Oshkosh Wisconsin and it is prohibited to own any 'exotic' reptile. So for now I guess Ill follow their rules. I realy want a Red Tailed Boa, but thats not gonna happen yet. So, I would like to know what a good non-exotic :grumps: snake for a begginer was. Thanks!

thanks rrrrr and boywithscales. my dad is terrified of snakes so a big one wouldnt be good. i have pretty much decided to get a corn snake. i have been reading snake books and they keep talking about "boids". i have no idea what this is supposed to mean. if anyone knows i would very much appreciate that info, it's driving me craxy! lol

boids just mean (pythons and boa constrictors), just a simplified way of saying it.
