So starting one last new thread as I've been disrupting the boards lately, causing a "poo off" contest.

I'm looking to get my first snake, and wanted to have a clean slate discussion.

Requirements:

  • can be up to 4-6 feet if thin or maybe a male ball python
  • Ideally not super smelly, but at this point I feel like I should de-prioritize this
  • Can hang out with me and ideally "drape" around my neck or body
  • Doesn't need massive enclosure


Contenders:

  • MBK - generally gorgeous and super cool looking, small enough, seems friendly
  • Cali King - a bit longer, needs larger space? I may be getting incorrect information about how they poop more or are smelly
  • Cornsnake - palmetto corns are the coolest thing ive ever seen, everyone seems to say they stink and poo too often
  • Ball Python - seems like the best one in terms of just chilling on my neck, but if it gets to 2,200 grams can I keep em around my neck still?


Thank you all in advance again. It's been great meeting you all, gotten very helpful responses from everyone.
