Greetings from a cold and windy Wales
Hello folks,
Its a pleasure to find this forum. Some great reading here. I am infact snake-less. Im trying to decide between a Ball Python or Kenyan Sand Boa - which seems to be a common problem for newbie snake owners, like myself. Ive owned fish, dogs, birds, cats and Im now looking to enjoy some snake husbandry ! Always been fascinated by reptiles and I hope to share my journey with this forum in the coming weeks.
Stephen

Hmmm, when whales break wind, is it really that cold???? They are warm blooded creatures after all....
Anyhooo... Welcome to the site, I personally recommend ball pythons for a first snake. However corn snakes are very nice as well if you like something a little more active, and boas are great if you like something just a bit larger. Then again carpet pythons are great if you like something large and active. In any case, snakes make great pets.

Lol ! Well there is a lot of wind in Wales ! Trust me, its out diet !
Yes, I am leaning towards trying a Ball Python. They look fantastic and the general consensus is they are docile and fun pets for a beginner. Don't want something to perky. I do have question about heat mats. Ive got the Exo Terra 18 (W) 18 (D) 12 (H) terrarium and Im stumped to which size heat mat to choose - 11inch by 11inch ? or 17inch by 11inch ? Confused !

11"x11" should be fine, but the most important thing is how to regulate it. You'll need a thermostat to control the temperature or either one will get too hot without one.
