What snake should I get?!?!?!

[youngster]

I can't decide what snake I want! I'm torn between a BP, BRB, and a KSB. It has to be fairly cheap since I'm buying it myself :P I don't really want a colubrid but it can't be too big! :P See the dilemma here? Have any suggestions for a new snake?

[youngster]

The only colubrid that I want is a Hoggie!

[stephanbakir]

Brbs get much longer then BPs, I prefer them by far. They are also more active.

[youngster]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking at first. I need more people's opinions though!

Spotted python, way better choice then all of those IMO.
You should look them up. I just bought 4 a week ago.

[youngster]

Wow spotted python is a definite possibility.

Hmm.. Well I love to hold snakes.. so I think I'd want to go with the ones that are most active.. but that' jut me.. I looove the iridescence of the BRB.. but I also think KSB's would be pretty cool to watch.. hmm..
Tis a tough decision

I also love holding my corn but I don't really want a hyper snake like a corn or milk. I want a lazy snake that doesn't mind being held :P

The ball python is a cool snake and I do recommend it, but the husbandry requirements are alot stricter for a ball than for your corn. Also balls can be finicky eaters, and you don't want to jump into a situation where you'll have to spend alot of time wondering why your pet won't eat.

Look at irian jaya carpet pythons, they're the smallest type of carpet to my knowledge. But don't get me wrong, balls are awesome and come in all kinds of colors, I have a bumblebee and definitely enjoy him.

EDIT: just read your thing about wanting a lazy & easy to hold snake. Buy a ball! but get a morph

Yeah I held a ball the other day and I like the nature of the snake and a BP is definitely possible not to mention fairly cheap. Whatever snake I get I'm not getting it until October so I have plenty of time to figure out what my choices are.

Scratch all those choices and get a carpet python! They are very hardy, generally eat like horses, and are active, docile and brightly-colored. I personally find BPs very boring. My carpets are always curious and out and about.

Don't get me wrong I would be all for a carpet but I feel like they might be too expensive and big. How big does one usually get?

[brylecc1989]

I think irian jayas max out at like 7 feet. But if u get a male, itd be more like 4-5 feet. Same as your corn carpets are awesome man. I can tell yo really enjoy sage and like to watch her, take pictures etc. I would 100% suggest a carpet for you, specifically irian jaya. They are high yrllow and jet black in the nicer specimens, eat really well, and my carpet(or any carpet for that matter) has never struck at me. Definitely check em out!

[youngster]

Wow 4-5 ft! I thought they got bigger. Def. looking at some IJ carpets!

[brylecc1989]

The overall median is 5-7. However a male will very very rarely exceed 6 feet.
