Need Suggestions
I put the cart before the horse. I bought a 3x2x2 cage but now that I have it set up I can't decide what snake would be best for it. Here is a picture.

I've never owned a snake before but have read, and read, ......then I read some more but I still don't know what is right for me. I've considered a centralian, jungle, hog island, ball, and irian jaya to name a few.
What would be a good match for a newb and this cage setup?:confused:

Re: Need Suggestions
Awesome display!!!
That cage set-up is great for an arboreal - like a green tree python. But, arboreal snakes are not recommended for beginner pet owners.
I'm sure a ball python would be happy there!

Re: Need Suggestions
Agreed... that's a nice setup for an arboreal snake: Carpet, GTP, or Emmy. ;)

Re: Need Suggestions
Is that a cage from pvccages.com?
And for a snake to go in there, a Jungle Carpet Python!
It's my second snake, I have the same size enclosure (from AP) with an RHP as well and a perch like yours.
The temperatures get in the perfect range in a cage like that, and JCPs are not too hard to take care of either.
Nice setup!

.....not really,many people buy a snake THEN figure out how to house it later.
your doing it right,i wish you well.have fun !

Re: Need Suggestions
Since it is a beginner, I vote carpet, as it fits well into the arboreal style cage....though I admit a GTP or ETB would be awesome, but not starters. I think a carpet would be a descent, perhaps not best, starter snake that would do well.

Re: Need Suggestions
If you do decide on a carpet, get a rat eater...
