If you are looking for something a little more exotic than a corn or king try a carpet python yes they are nippy when young but if you handle them they will calm down. The other thing i like about carpets is that ive never had a problem getting them to eat unlike hognoses or ball pythons. Check out Kingsnake.com for tons and i mean tons of info on reptiles.
best starter snake?

allright theres a problem with carpet python they get big for starter, eat alot, have big ass teeth, they are aggresive and evern if u tame it u need to hold it at least once a day to keep it at a nice position, um what else i get one if u be comfortable with it and willing to keep it for out its life and not give it up then get one but i dont recommend as first snake.Rob553 said:
Dont believe the hype. First off they get big well that depends if you consider 5-6 ft and about as big around as your wrist as big then i guess your right oh yea dont some king snakes & ghopher snakes which were also mentioned get that big. I know each snake has its own personality but ive had mine for 4 years and have never been bitten and have heard from many other owners who have had the same results. Ive been keeping snakes for over 15 years and it is mine and others opinion that these are great snakes. It really comes down to the person and how responsible they are and if your taking the time to do some research before you even buy a snake then you can handle a Carpet.
Don't get a garter snake you can never hold them get a ball python they are a really good starter.
k im sorry im just sayin i wouldnt recomend it as a starter maby get a different snake first and see how u fairRob553 said:
