New snake for newb?

If you want to just have an easier time with a healthy snake, get a healthy one from a good breeder instead of a "rescue" or shelter.

Getting an established adult with known docile temperament is your best go, but starting from a hatchling for the species you listed isn't hard either, and can be rewarding watching them grow

Snakes do not "bond" as they don't have that emotional intelligence in their brains, but they simply learn to not act defensively/to trust you won't hurt them. So look at other reasons to decide if you want a hatchling or not.

Many species can be an easy, docile first snake- it all depends on you and how smart you are with doing research and providing them the correct husbandry and setup. Do your research, and pick the species you're passionate about and that you think you can realistically handle.

Hi all,

I am considering my first snake and was wondering what was the consensus on a breed that would make a great house pet.

Snakes are species and sub-species, not breeds All snake species can be found in the wild.
