There are a TON to choose from. I have a red tail boa that I just adore. Right now he’s about 8 ft. with a 10 ft potential. He eats large, live rats, and I expect him to live at least 20 years.
Well i will be getten a Ball Python for a pet snake maybe the weekend of June 21st! But everytime i respond to a question like this someone else says get a corn snake for first pet snake the ball python will be my first snake! Ball pythons are picky eaters but dont be shock when and if you get one that they go months of off feed thats totally normal unless they look skinny! If you want one that will wrap around your arm and all then a boa or a ball python are good for that! Corns are good snakes as well but are really active untile they get use to you but personally i think any snake you get is like that!! Hope i help you out a lilttle!! Oh and also when you chose your snake be sure to read all about it and do alot of research on them!! And before getten it be sure to have its take all set up and heating and humidity right before even getten it! Good Luck!
balll python
easy cheap fun and friendly
A great beginner level snake is a Corn Snake. They are pretty neat because they come in a variety of different colors, and are easy to take care of. I believe they grow to be about 3 feet long, and should probably be fed mice from when they’re young until adulthood. Their lifespan is usually around 15 years or so.
Another really beautiful/tame snake that is good for beginners is a Ball Python. I currently have one and she is a really fun pet to have. Ball Pythons grow to be about 5 feet long, and will require about a 40 gal terrarium when fully grown. Right now, mine is fully grown and I feed her large rats. Ball Pythons can live to be 25 years old.
Don’t worry about venomous snakes (not poisonous), because they are illegal to own in most states and you won’t just find a Cobra or Rattlesnake at Petco!
Hope that helps!
OK first dont depend on us to do your research if you want the snake you do the research
But there are 2 snakes i suggest to people there a corn snake there great for starters but the tend to be ones that can stay still but very easy to take care of but also abother great one is a ball python they get larger then a corn snake but they are more easy going and calm but a little harder to take care of but its up to you to decide and what can fit to your life style
hope this helped
check it out its all about corn snakes. its the most common ant easiest
I had a question much like yours and most people (including me) recommend either a corn snake or a ball python which grow to about 3 ft. They eat mice and rats which you could buy frozen. They are both good starter snakes and are not poisonous.
If you prefer a much smaller kind of snake like a garter snake or a rough green snake. That average to about 10-12 inches length, they are gentle from what I hear, and eat meal worms, crickets, and fish. They are both easy to care for and make great pets.
Best of Luck!!!!
Hello; I’d highly recommend a Rosy boa. They are one of my personal favorites and are a great snake for beginners.
They are incredibly docile, one of the easiest snake species I’ve ever cared for, small come in several different colors and localities, and all around are a wonderful (albeit often overlooked) snake. I’ve owned a few of them, so I’ll type out a short general care sheet; hopefully this will provide the information you’ll need should you consider one of these guys.
Temperament: They are very calm, slow-moving snakes. Generally quite docile, most are fine with handling, and they rarely, if ever, bite people. Mine have all been content to find a comfortable place on my hand, neck or lap and just hang out, unlike Colubrids (like King snakes and Corn snakes), which always seem to have somewhere to go.
Life expectancy: When properly cared for, a Rosy boa can live 20+ years in captivity.
Size: Males average 1.5-2.5 feet, females are generally 2.5-3.5 feet, some a tad larger, but never more then 4 feet.
Feeding: start babies on mice pinks, and build up to one large mouse per week for adults. The general rule of thumb is to feed a rodent about the same in diameter as the widest part of your snake’s body. They are generally quite enthusiastic feeders; I have never had one that was a reluctant eater.
Humidity: This is a really low humidity desert species. A small water dish is fine on the cool side of the tank, but misting is completely unnecessary for these guys.
Temperature: Mine have done best with a basking temperature in the high eighties, around 87-89 degrees, with an ambient (background) temperature of 77-80. This can be achieved by use of under-tank heating pads, incandescent heat bulbs, or ceramic heat emitters.
Cage size: a 20 gallon tank is ideal for a single adult, but a 10 gallon is adequate. Just make SURE the lid of the cage is very secure, as these guys are amazing escape artists.
Substrate: Mine have done best on eco-earth by zoo-med, as long as it is COMPLETELY dry before putting it in my snake’s cage. Paper towels, aspen bedding, or even reptile sand (as long as you feed your snake in a separate container to prevent sand ingestion) also works very well.
Other good species of snake would be Kenyan Sand boas, Corn snakes, King snakes, Ball pythons and Childrens Pythons.
I hope this helps, and if you’d like any more information snakes in general, on the care and maintenance of this species or any of the other species I named (or would like to see pictures of my own snakes); please feel free to message me and I’d be more than happy to assist you.
Good luck!
I would say king snake because they will eat anything from birds mice to other snakes and they have a good attitude and are not aggressive once they see you enough
1. Ball Python eats mice/rats and gets 4-6ft and lives 15-20 years.
2. Corn Snake eats baby/adult mice and gets 4-6ft and lives 10-20 years.
