its really up to you. ball pythons are good beginner snakes, although they are finicky eaters. i heard that corns are nippy, but i have no experiance with them. i never heard anything about milk snakes. just research a bit on them all and see what you would like. welcome to the site by the way if i missed ya.

Yeah..personally i'd choose a Ball Python...although i saw an albino corn snake at Petco and was tempted to buy..but as rex said, for a beginner snake, i'd choose a ball.

i really want a bp cause at the petstore t was so calm compared 2 the other snakes

[rex322]

DONT BUY FROM A PETSTORE!!! all sorts of problems come with them usually. especially if you get it from PETCO. sry after today i am totally anti petco.

lol...can't blame you rex! a dead bp would piss me off as well.

where to buy them other than iternet

[rex322]

try to find an established breeder. if not and you have to buy from a petstore, although breeders are really reliable online, make sure that 1.temps are right, humidity relativly close, has at least 1 hide, clean water, no shed/feces/urates laying around and hold it before you purchase it. backbone shouldnt be showing.
