Best Python for an Apartment?
Y'alls inputs on the best apartment pythons??
Re: Best Python for an Apartment?
I suggest a Children's python. Apartments are small. Children's pythons are small. It's a perfect fit. Pygmy pythons are smaller, but they're expensive and can be tough to feed as babies.

Or the closely-related & VERY similar "Australian spotted python"- mine is currently about 15 years old, & a mere 4' long- PERFECT. (these get slightly bigger than Children's, very similar otherwise)
But if you're talking about "pythons" be prepared to explain...they don't all become huge snakes, but so many people think ONLY of giant pythons. The "best" python (or snake) is the one your landlord ALLOWS. Please never try to sneak in & hide a pet in a rental apartment or house- it doesn't end well one way or another, & gives snake-keepers & animal lovers a bad name, besides.
While I don't currently keep ball pythons, I suppose we should include them in the list of good options, but being heavy-bodied, a misguided landlord or neighbor might confuse them with larger pythons. Then again, they might think Antaresia (Children's, Spotteds) are "baby anacondas" too? :D

Royal pythons are the best for anywhere !
Just ensure you buy a good eater / feeder and you are good to go .
Extremely hardy ( in my experience) , gorgeous selection of colours / patterns, fabulous to watch in the evenings ( if you add some branches ) and amazing to handle .. they will even curl up on your lap whilst you watch telly if you wish .

:confusd:. I thought the OP was asking for recommendations on a snake to keep in the apartment, not a snake that's as large as an apartment. For a snake to take up all the living space in your apartment, you can't do any better that the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus).;)
