trying to look on the bright side
Well since we had to put my girl down, my dad OS letting me get a new snake. My dad and sister and probably boyfriend are all gonna pitch in to get me a baby. So suggestions? I've asked about a lot of snakes but I can't pick one! Open to all suggestions.except for maybe sand boas. I don't like them much ~ thanks in advance

Re: trying to look on the bright side

Re: trying to look on the bright side
i'm 5'6, 125 lbs...and I don't think I would want to handle anything bigger than 6 feet by myself..I'm pretty strong but safety is always key...there are a lot more people on here that know more about many different kinds of snakes, but as far as "cost effectiveness" corns are wonderful snakes...great tempered, etc...the rainbows are higher maintenance and require a lot of "initial" setup costs, etc, but also great tempered...ball pythons are easy to care for also...those are just the ones I know about first hand, I'm sure others will have more suggestions keep us posted!

Re: trying to look on the bright side
I'd go with a colubrid also. Kingsnakes and MBK's are my favorite, corns and milks are beautiful too. I love the various honduran and black milk snakes. You can also go with a bull snake if you want something a little larger. I saw an albino paternless bull snake that was pretty stunning. The husbandry requirements for colubrids are pretty simple, they have really beautiful morphs and they're usually very good eaters. My only other choice would be a high yellow carpet python. Those are some amazing animals. Best wishes with your new snake and my condolences on your lost one.

Re: trying to look on the bright side

Re: trying to look on the bright side
Hurrok, I do love the adorable faces of hoggies! But the more I think, I'm leaning more towards either another carpet or a Columbian BCI.

Re: trying to look on the bright side
have you thought about honduran milks? they get pretty big, many color varieties….
I would also suggest you look into higher end pine/bull snakes, for something 'different', they have some great colors as well and lots of neat little behaviors
and of course you know carpets, they are always fun too If you've not kep many colubrids though you might find you really enjoy them, they are pretty different from the pythons!
