    Some great begginer snakes are corn snakes,ball pythons(from a breeder not pet shops),king snakes(kept seperate from other snakes).What are you interested in? I ask this because we can tell you the truth about them and whether or not they are great begginers snakes:D .

    Since you already have a BP, why not get another ;)

    Kingsnakes are super easy keepers. Mexican black kings are especially nice animals. I also like LLL. I've bought 4 animals from them. Very pleased.

    LLL is good people. If you are in Southern California, you might also check out Amazon Reptile Center with two stores in Covina and Montclair (as well as online). Great folks and nice animals. They currently have a really nice selection of king hatchlings...Rick held an MBK there and was quite taken by her. =)

    *Scary note: some drunk driver drove through the restaurant next door to the Montclair (original) store this past week, which also punctured through the Amazon Reptile wall. THANKFULLY it was the one part of the store where there are NO animals - just tanks and stuff for sale - and no animals were injured. Talk about scaaary...=P

    ehh...would blood pythons be good beginner snakes? or are they better for intermediate keepers?
