I picked up on that too.Originally Posted by redshepherd
But anyway, I'm always going to advocate for Kings. However, with Kings, you've got to almost plan on getting tagged at some point.
Regardless of food strikes, I think BPs are great first snakes too.
To me, the bottom line is this: there are a lot of snakes that are common in the pet trade that make good first snakes...IF you do the proper research BEFORE bringing the animal home and you're confident you can meet the requirements to care for the animal.
Ultimately, it comes down to what you're looking for in your pet and whether or not you're willing and able to meet its care requirements.
That being said, I think in no way should anybody get a retic, burm, conda, or anything venomous as a first snake.
But I do think most of the COMMON snakes in the pet trade can be good first snakes, but like I said, if you're willing and able to do it right.
