Thanks for the info. Do corn snakes need uv light ?? Sorry im such a
when it comes to reptiles.

I'd have to go with corn snakes. They stay relatively small (only about 5 feet), they are very docile, and very easy to take care of. My first snake was a corn snake actually.

A lot of people will probably recommend a ball python, but I wouldn't. Although ball pythons are extremely easy to take care of, they are also very picky eaters. They will randomly refuse food for weeks or months at a time for no apparrent reason. Ball pythons are good snakes once you have a little experience first.

Another reason I'm going to recommend a corn snake is they are very inexpensive and have a variety of color morphs that are easily obtained. You can get pretty much any color morph of the corn snake for under $100 (most being in the $15 - $50 range).

I've never been bitten by a corn snake, and I've never had a corn snake refuse a meal. In my opinion, a corn snake would be the best way to go if you are getting it for a kid.

I have a 2 1/2 foot red tail boa. I dont really like snakes but I bought it because the previous owner didnt want it and was gonna let it go or starve it to death. Its a very pretty snake, I feel bad cus all I do is feed it. I never hold it or even look at it but at least its still alive. Hopefully I will find it a home soon.

Are you located anywhere near Michigan?

 

[LeGrandB@t]

I live in St Louis MO not to far away.

 

[Ph0etus]

Its still too far for me to drive. If you plan to come to Michigan anytime soon let me know. I've always got space for another snake.
