Any suggestions for my next snake?

I also feel it's EXTREMELY important to have some cash squirreled away for emergency vet bills, equipment failures, etc... Accidents happen, illness happens, equipment fails. So it's our responsibility to be able to afford new equipment or vet bills, which you typically have no time to prepare or save up for. Just my two cents, but I find it irresponsible and unfair to take on pets if you can't provide in emergency situations as well.


As for what snake to get...that's completely up to WHAT YOU WANT in your new pet. There are tons of species (not breeds, FYI) to choose from, so without knowing your expectations there's no way we can help you.

I really feel like this cannot be understated. Since you're a teenager, make sure you have much more than just the cost of the snake itself saved up -- unforeseen things can happen and you'll need to have the cash on hand to do the right thing for your new snake.
