yeah i looked at a bunch of vids and researched a lot and i dont think i can afford to buy mice all the time to feed a snake. i'd prefer a reptile that takes prepared foods, which is why im kinda leaning towards turtles.
 
actually, i really like cornsnakes. i think i might buy a 10g to breed mice and get a small cornsnake

i dont want a snake that bites a lot or anything. not looking forward to getting an infected wound. do cornsnakes bite a lot? also pythons kinda creep me out, i always think theyre gonna chomp my arm or try to squeeze it real hard

Ball pythons are probably the calmest snakes around. The rest of the snakes that I mentioned do very well if handled regularly when held young. Getting bit by any of these snakes does not really hurt (when the snake is young you will not even feel it). Just do quick google searches on them for care information and there is a lot of great information. There are so many different color king snakes and corn snakes to choose from. Also snakes are easier to care for then other reptiles. They only eat once a week and go to the bathroom once or twice a week. They can also be feed froozen thawed rodents. So buy 4 or 5 a month and your good. If you have any questions on any of these species just ask me. I have expierience with pretty much all of these.

i think im going to avoid the hassle and just buy frozen mice from my petsmart. i wont feed it live mice, only frozen
 
meh, at least i dont need to wait for them. i think i might breed mice or something to pay less in the long run, but then i have to worry about buying them food. nah, ima go with frozen

For one snake, breeding mice wouldn't be even close to worth it. Definitely go with frozen-much easier. I've been bitten by several of these snakes. Usually, they don't even really commit to the bite. They strike and basically let their mouth bounce off your skin. The worst you end up with there are a couple little pin-prick marks you can't even feel. If they do hold on, just let them release on their own and don't force it and it still wont be very painful. If handled enough, all of these snakes are very calm and docile.
