LOL, my Bad. I was gonna say King Snake. I was reading an article on Eastern Diamond Backs and cruising BP.net. I guess I have some kind of ADD :?

I guess I would have to throw in my two cents and vote for the corn snake as the ultimate beginners snake. As I have seen from my creamsicle "Agent Orange" they are ridiculously easy to maintain. Very docile and easy to handle after they get used to you and settle down. And a wide variety of beautiful morphs to choose from. As much as I love my Ball Pythons I cannot honestly recommend them to a rank beginner as their first snake - you have to walk a rather fine tightrope in regards to their husbandry and it DOES take some research and practice. I am fortunate thought that I have been very successful with P. regius and it is now easy for me to meet their needs. They are well worth the effort and I believe that they have just suffered a bad rap in the past ....

I really cannot speak from experience on any snake other than a BP. I guess that it makes sense that BP's are not always a great beginner snake. I was maniacal about research & even more so about getting help & asking questions on these forums (and a couple of others with varying results) but i have had no problems at all with Hissy. Once she got over the initial stress of moving to a new home & got away from being cared for like crap by the petstore i got her from, she became a very simple creature to care for. I just keep an eye on temps & humidy, do what i need to do to keep them where they should be & she eats every meal!
