What should I get?

[Polka.dotph]

I really want another Ball Python, and I'm going to a reptile show in Arlington this month. If I can convince my mom enough on how easy it is to take care of a Ball python, (keep on reminding her that they can live in a $15 tub rather than a $200 glass aquarium) I might just be able to get another one. I want a female morph, probably a Mojave, Cinny, Lesser, Butter, spider, and possible bumble bee, but I dont think my mom wont like the price of them if she does let me get one. So I was thinking of one of those, and when I'm going to breed ball pythons when I get old enough, but right now the bp would just be a pretty little pet (I prefer the ones that dont brown out alot).

So what do you think would be the best?

If your mom isn't too keen on you having a snake, I can't see her letting you spend $200 or more just on the snake. If you can talk her into a female pastel, that's what I would start with.

Seems as though she already has one snake. I'd say the amount of work required to take care of one snake versus two snakes is basically nothing. Is the money for the snake coming out of your moms pocket or yours? Might be easier to sway her if its your own money.

Visually, I would get either a mojave, lesser, or butter.


And a tub probably won't be more than $6. It just depends on what size you get.
6 qt hatchling tubs are as low as $2 at Walmart.
15-28 qts are around $5.
