I have 3 grand-girls, 8,7, and 5. They all want snakes so we'll be going to a show the beginning of Jan.
The 7 yr old is extremely experienced, she's held, been around and owned snakes since age 1. The other two are just coming around, but want one of their own. My 4 ft ball makes those two uncomfortable, they want something small and pretty. I've been reading here all day and I wonder if a corn is going to be too squirmy for them? Plus with the eating problems I've been reading about, is that asking for trouble? If they lose one early on, they aren't going to want to go through it again. I am hoping to get a nelson or hondo for myself, would those be good choices? I know they won't stay small, but neither will the girls.

Any and all advice welcome and appreciated.
