    Arrow What do you prefer?

    Hi all-

    If you has a choice in any healthy, thriving reptile species what would you choose age wise?

    I prefer hatchlings, I like knowing the temperment and quirks from the beginning, no surprises.

    Since I'm still not that experienced a snake owner, I prefer sub-adults: still young to spend life with you, but already established eaters with a clear personality...so you know what you're getting into.

    Re: What do you prefer?

    All age groups. I like getting them as hatchlings, but also like getting my hands on a lrg adult. Like them at any age! If I'm going for cute factor, then hatchling is it!!

    Re: What do you prefer?

    All of them! But if it's going to be living in our home, I prefer a hatchling to watch it grow. But I'm not against any age rescue....
