    Best small snake

    Hey All! I was hoping for some suggestions on the best small snake as a pet,where the smaller the better.
    Already have a BP, and definitely wouldn't mind another, but wouldn't mind diversifying either
    I thought about hoggies, but considering I tend to swell up even with a mosquito, not too sure how happy I'd be with the whole venom/saliva thing

    So basically what's the best docile, tiny pet snake you guys can think of?
    I'd already had a look at some KSB's which I like the look of, but let me know if you can think of any

    Re: Best small snake

    Well what's your definition of a small snake? There are smaller island locality boas or irian jaya carpet pythons don't get very big and make awesome snakes. Rosey and rubber boas. Children's, Stimson's and spotted pythons. A large variety of colubrids. I guess we'd need to know more of what you're looking for in a snake other than size.

    Re: Best small snake

    Any of the Antaresia/Children's python complex - I've got a girl who's a Spotted, Children's, or cross, and she's a wonderful little girl. She's in a 24" x 24" x 16" tall enclosure with things to climb on, and she rarely hides.

    I also like our KSBs, but you don't see them much.

    African House Snakes are a real treat. Corns are small and come in a ton of colors. I also like Children's Pythons. Rosie's can be a little nippy.
