beginner snakes

Blood pythons are more of an intermediate snake.... you have to keep a close eye on humidity levels, and they do get to be a fairly large snake. Many hatchlings and young snakes are "nippy" as well, so you can't be afraid of that kind of thing either.

If you have had your BP for a good amount of time and you know by talking to other snake keepers that you are providing it with the right environment, you may be ready for a snake with different needs.

Go for a cornsnake. They are fun and are SUPER easy to take care of.

whoops i forgot to mention that it WAS for $80 but i got when it was on special for $30!!

Bloods are definitely an intermediate snake keeper's animal. They can be a handful, but they're wonderful!

and how big do they get? i ask that because my parents wouldnt want a big snake around the house.they were bragging to me about my BP and he doesnt even grow to 5 ft!!
