whats the best????

i've loved snakes ever since i was 5. but my folks were't as open minded as u guys. now tht i've moved out. i'm planning of getting a ball python. i hear its the easiest to start with. any other suggestion?

Welcome to the site! :handshake

Ball python or a corn snake would be your best option for a starter snake. I have never been a fan of corn snakes, pythons just have the 'look' that I like :) Also, make sure you do alot of research on ball pythons and completely prepare your enclosure before purchasing the ball python. That will reduce stress on the animal and make everything a much better experience for both of you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask...we love to help out ;)

Welcome to our world! I also think you would very much enjoy having and learning about snakes, starting with a ball python. One thing's for sure, they WILL teach you patience!! But don't take wrong, they have been very rewarding to me also! I like them much better than our mammal pets anymore!
