BravestHobbit Snaaaakess?? :D
I have two at the moment, looking to get a ball python over the summer hopefully.
This is Davey, my male Kenyan sand boa (anery)
He's a little over a year old, and is a great snake! Sand boas are really interesting/weird but probably aren't the best for a first snake unless you know what you're getting into? They're ambush predators so they usually sit with just their head & eyes sticking out of the bedding. They aren't very active so it's really exciting to see him cruising around on the surface. He has a pretty good personality that's typical for a sand boa. Docile, but he does let me know when he's had enough handling. :)
Aaaand this is Maja. She's a tangerine albino Honduran milksnake and is about four months old. :b
(she was in shed in this picture)
She's young and a relatively new arrival so I don't handle her much. She acts like a hondo, though. Very squirmy and feisty! I looove milk and king snakes though.
I'm pretty new to keeping snakes (about two years) but these are the snakes that are typically recommended as great first snakes!
- Corns (incredibly docile, active, eat great)
- Kingsnakes / Milksnakes (can be snappy as babies but settle down as they get older, eating machines!)
- Sand boas / Rosy boas (great personalities, stays small, typically eat very well, but hide a lot!)
- Spotted / Children's pythons (great personalities, great eaters, stays small)
Ball pythons are good beginner snakes if you're aware that they go off feed often and sometimes for months at a time, which can be really scary if you're not used to snakes! Most recommend them as a second snake, but really, any snake can be a perfect first snake as long as you research!
If you want more pictures of mine I'd be happy to share some :D
I'm sure other snake people will chime in soon that have more experience than me. c:
