Which would be less aggressive?

Question

I'm getting a Florida Banded Water Snake (I finally got my mom to say yes, but only to one) and I want to know if I should get a male or a female. I want the one that will be less territorial. If they are equally vicious I'll get a female. :) Thanks

P.S. I've done my research and I know how aggressive these snakes can be, I just never saw any info on a specific gender.

Answer 1

Snakes are not territorial nor is there any difference between the sexes. Most water snakes tend to be aggressive, so if you've never owned snakes, this isn't the best choice. They also have a musk gland which they are quick to use. And don't feed them goldfish. They are very bad for reptiles.
