SO i have been doing some research and i am looking for some advice. I have never had a snake before, I have all sorts of critters though, from bearded dragons to ferrits to dogs, I am looking for some imput on what a good snake would be for a beginer, and get some ideas as far as housing, heating, lighting etc. I noticed that alot are using plastic containers to house them in, what r the benifits of this?
I like the ball Python, Red Tailed Boa, would either one of these be good for me to start out with?

any help would be appreciated
