I want to get a snake.?

Question

I want to have a pet snake but I know nothing. What kind should i get, how much should i pay (dont wanna get ripped off) and what is the proper care involved?

Answer 1

make sure you no what your doing read and go on this snake pick wich snake you want

Answer 2

I would read up on the basic husbandry first and once you have done that you have to read about all the snakes you are considering ie: Corn snakes are known as a easy snake to start off with and you can get them in so many different colours, they truly are beautiful and then you have ball pythons which are known for their docile nature but can be very picky eaters! If i were you i would consider which one would suit you best. The second link that SAM gave you is a fantastic site for ball pythons, which ever one you go for remember they can live up 20-30 years (sometimes more) so its a life time commitment but completely worth it they are fascinating creatures that i could never get bored of!!! GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 3

both ball pythons and corn snakes are very good beginner snakes. they dont get too big and are pretty docile. the only thing with ball pythons is the are known for being finicky eaters. some eat great and some will go a month or 2 without finally eating. make sure you research all of the care requirements for each before you choose. here are some good care sheets.

Answer 4

I would go for a ball Python or a rat snake try kingsnake.com they have great delas you may end up paying $100 at a pet shop try the website I listed you can find one for like $30 dollars. They have Rat snakes on there also for great prices.

Answer 5

Go to the pet store and ask those same questions. Start off with a corn snake they are small and are a little more or les than 100 bucks. At the most.
