from personal experience if you go with aballpython make sure you get it from a reliable source alot of the bps you get in the pet shop are wild caught also some babies can be a pain in the butt,have you considered corn snakes,i hear rosys are good and mild tempered but corns are very reliable and easy to keep and breed-good luck!:Iīve read lots of posts about first snake choices but still couldnīt decide.
:Iīve worked in a pet shop and had my first contact with a lampropeltis triangulum ?????.
:it looked like a 5' scarlet but i donīt know which one it was...
:I picked her (female) ONLY once.
:honestly, she made me lose a little bit of interest about snakes. she was a bit jumpy and nervous...
:I started reading and started to like other types of snakes(boas and pythons).
:Assuming I want a small to medium snake than doesn't bite, should I get a ball python or a rosy boa? (CB of course, and assuming they are eating)

:Thank you all answers!
