When I told people I was gtting a snake, I had everyone giving me opinions. the 3 I heard most that were good for a first snake were, corn snake, rosy boa, ball python.
Everyone also said do not get a reticulated python. They are mean, they bite, you can't handle them.
I would like to know what you retic owners out there have to say. I'm not trying to make anyone mad, but I would like to hear the retics side of the story. I can't believe that all of them are mean.
