Ribbon Snakes for a young/beginner herp

[Skiploder]

A ribbon snake is a rotten choice for a first pet snake.

Or a second pet snake.

Or a third pet snake.

Some fairly bulletproof and budget wise first snakes are:

1. Spotted pythons
2. Children's pythons
3. Corn snakes
4. Gopher snakes
5. Milk snakes
6. King snakes

and if you can find them:

7. Russian rat snakes.
