General snake question

I want a lap snake. A take-everywhere-show-to-everyone, not afraid of anything snake. One that wants to be out a lot, one that enjoys being outside occasionally.

What do I get? Out of anything and everything, what should I get?

This is a very noobish question, but I'm all researched-out. Someone just tell me. -lol-

dude....a ball python :D

Sorry thier is no such thing as a "lap snake" ;).To be truthfull its not really a good idea to take any snake out into the general public areas.Enjoy your snakes in your home and show them to interested people in thier enclosures,it will be safer for everyone :D

ok, guys. You know what I mean. As close as you can get to all that. Obviously I'm not buying a dog. I'm just sayin' ...sometimes my BP can be a stick in the mud. If you know what I mean.

Oh, and as for the "general public areas" thing, I agree. I'd rather not cause mass panic and mayhem. :P I meant more like, the sidewalk that runs along behind my house. It gets really nice out there. Not many people.

In my opinion thier are no snakes that come even a little bit close to what you are wanting one for :D.

Of the "reptile petting zoo" groups that I know...the ones that really know what they're doing and how to handle and care for their animals... I think the best snake is actually a ball python. Second would be a Boa. With good handling from a young age, those guys are really tolerant and mellow. Just be sure, as with any animal under the sun, that you know where your snake is and who is handling them at all times. :)

Thanks argentra. That helps. Also, just to clarify, I most definitely exaggerated when I explained my qualifications. I'm not saying I am going to do all of that, I just wanted the general idea understood. Like I said, I know I'm not buying a dog. ;)

Well.. I'd say a red tailed boa (BCI are generally calmer) or a dumerils boa is a good bet.
