  1. yea

    there isnt one

    most snake hatchings are 12-15inches


  2. I'm not sure what snake petco would sell that's under 1 ft long. I don't know of any popular snakes that stay under 1 ft long as an adult. Snakes under that size are rare and hard to find as a pet. The closest thing I can think of what you're looking for is a kenyan sand boa. The males are around 15 inches, females can get twice as long. They can be easy to breed.

  3. Corn snakes go about 2 ft but all snakes are over 1 ft except if your lucky enough to  find really really small garden or grass snakes

  4. I'm sorry, most snakes are about 100$ if you want them from a good breeder. ( watch out for cheap breeders trying to sell for 150$ though) I couldn't find anything under one foot either.

  5. Hello; while there are some species of snake that stay under a foot long a maturity; none of them make good pets and are all generally expensive and hard to find in the pet industry. :(

    A quick warning; it is never a good idea to take the advice of someone working at a pet store without doing plenty of research yourself (as it sounds like you are doing); particularly if the pet store in question is Petco or Petsmart. I have seen them telling people that Iguanas make great beginner pets and only need to be fed iceburg lettuce, and that Ball pythons mature at under a foot long and can be fed crickets their entire lives; both of which statements are completely and absolutely false. Unfortunately most workers there will tell you just about anything to make a sell.

    If you are looking for some very small snakes (both genders maturing at 3.5 feet or under, some of these quite a bit under); here are a list of some that make excellent pets. I don't know how much experience with reptiles you've had, so all of these are great for beginners and experienced snake keepers alike. I've also included a bit of information on them and a care sheet on each species. :)

    Rosy boa. They are small, very docile, calm, are great eaters, and are slow moving (and thus easier to handle than a lot of colubrids like King snakes and Corn snakes). They are also very hardy, exceptionally low maintenance and easy to care for, come in lots of different colors and localities, and aren't prone to shedding problems.

    Kenyan sand boa. They have all of the good qualities of the Rosy like the gentle disposition, ease of care, small size, great feeders, etc, but the only problem that some keepers may have with them is that they spend most of their time under their substrate. For those who like to randomly walk by their snake's cage to check to see what the snake is up to and how it is doing, that could be frustrating for them.

    Childrens pythons. They are very small (the second smallest python species in the world), are low maintenance, are great eaters, and usually have a great temperament. While I wouldn’t classify them as slow moving, they aren’t all that fast, either. However while I think that they are quite beautiful; some would consider them to be ‘bland’ looking, so if one was in search of a flashy looking snake, then these guys probably wouldn’t be for them.

    Rough-scaled sand boa. These guys are a very small, generally docile, low maintenance species of sand boa. They are hardy and easy to care for, are great feeders, and are excellent for beginners. The only problems with these guys is that they are a bit harder to find than most of the others on this list, and like the Kenyans, they spend most of their time buried under their substrate.

    Western Hognose Snakes. They are a usually good-tempered, low maintenance, small, amusing species that could be mistaken for a Rattlesnake if someone wasn’t well versed in reptiles. They are generally very sweet, tame down quickly, are great feeders, and are great shedders. They are mildly venomous, though not enough so that it could pose of any danger to humans. Not only are they reluctant to bite; their fangs are also located in the back of their mouth thus making it very hard for them to bite you unless you literally stick your finger in there. Even if they did manage to bite you; you’d have to let them ‘chew’ on you to get any sort of reaction at all. Generally the reaction from their venom in humans is mild irritation and swelling.

    I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject or on any of the species I named; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

    Good luck!
