    Snakes with attitude
    Hey guys, I was wondering what non venomous snakes have attitude. Looking
    For something that would be fun to work with, but not a tota pain in the backside..Thanks

    Well if you are looking for something that won't hesitate to take a swing at you I would suggest a young carpet python. I have one and love him. They come in all sizes and many different colors. Most will calm down as adults

    Here is some good info on carpets

    The Jungle subspecies of carpet pythons fits exactly into your size range

    I love snakes as much as anyone else but I don't think I'd go for one that thinks I'm a super value pack every time I try to handle it lol.

    Carpet Pythons, Amazon Tree Boas, and Green Tree Pythons all come to mind.

    Amazon Tree Boas, Wild Caught Bull Snakes (very fun), as seen in BHB videos, the King Rat Snakes look fun.

    If you just want the excitement of getting bit, go field herping, VERY exciting when you find something.

    Go play with Satan at BHB. You gotta videotape it if you do though :)

    Get a black racer. Lol. It really all comes down to the individual snake. I mean i got some BPs that dont care how you hold them and others that will honestly try to bite your face every time you open the cage. The meanest one i own though is a female Hog Island. With her its a flip of a coin. You never know if shes gonna be calm and just chill on your shoulders or if she even lets you look at her.

    Are smiling when their mouths are open in striking posistion. Ha

    Flying at me. Haha

    I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, and own a carpet python. At most a carpet python will need a 4'x2'x2' cage. They are slender bodied and nothing compared to something like a Red Tailed Boa of the same length. If size is an issue get an IJ or Jungle carpet. They stay smaller. it is only the Coastals that really get big.

    Get a king snake and hold a rat or snake right before handling if you want some fun trying to avoid getting your fingers swallowed.

    I used to have a pair of everglades rat snakes, Good sized animals (over 6 feet as adults) with loads of attitude, they're also very attractive bright orange snakes. I traded them in years ago because I got tired of bleeding every time I cleaned their cages (even wearing gloves, I swear they knew the difference and aimed for the part of the arm that wasn't covered) They were a lot of fun though, sometimes wish I still had them.

    Some Blood Pythons I have handled were nasty little devils. No matter how many times I handled them, they kept on striking. Haha.

    A female Desert Ball Python has plenty of attitude and they don't get too big.
