I'm going to a reptile convention on August 20 (finally someone remembered that Portland exists, yay!) and I've already resigned myself to setting up a tank in advance because there's no way I'm leaving without a snake. It will just sort of happen. I know myself.
Anyway, I already have a ball python and I was pretty sure I'd get another one, but a friend of a friend just got a king snake for his two year old daughter. (Well, he didn't mean to, he ran over it with a bulldozer by accident and felt bad but that's another story.) I remember king snakes being on the list of "good for beginners", along with milk snakes, so I've been researching them and they seem interesting. Plus OMG THEY ARE BOTH SO BEAUTIFUL THAT IT ALMOST MAKES ME MAD.
As someone who likes to gently handle her snake once in awhile, do you think a milk or king snake would be a good choice, or should I stick with the relative calm that is a ball python? Do you agree that they're good for beginners? And if so, which one would you choose? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to plan my August 20th purchase way in advance.
Edit: I totally posted this in the wrong forum, didn't I
