As you know we already have a common Boa and two corns but i really want another snake and im torn as i want either a Ball Python or a Milk snake but Steve has seen a really nice speckled King snake, were quite limited on space especially as we know our Boa is going to be huge but hopefully we will in a few years move somewhere bigger, can i have some advice on which would be the best snake to have as it will have to be our last snake till like i sald we move |

Just look at many photos of snakes and pick one, then research care and nature. This is how I'm picking mine lol. My second type of snake was a MBK and he's a totaly sweetie and I would love a certain type of milk next and a black rat snake and theres people on here with grogeous corn/king hybrids too.
I do love the look of a royals face and they do look very sweet when babies but as they get older theor bottoms put me off XD If you have the money, I'd consider maybe a small boa, I'd love one! Specially a very pink one!
I already have a baby Boa she is so sweet,there is a picture of her on the photos section. Whats wrong with a royals bottom when they are older lol?
Well you know when you seen a morbidly obese person and their head looks so tiny compared to their bottom... Yeh... XD that's they only way I can decribe it XD
Bet royals get some right tyres when they get fat...
Anyway read this topic. It is very helpful.

I just wondered as with corns it's the tail lumps but with a royal they are lumps haha :p |

Thanks he is beautiful, they hold onto their poo for ages so in that picture he looks seriously big but he is still a massive lad for his age. I'd say get a royal, he is a bit shy but has such a lovely personality and are a great way to get a feel for bigger bodied snakes.
Not entirely sure how you check if they are overweight, I think you'd be able to feel it, Duke is solid muscle.
Thats him after a shed and a poop so not looking quite so round.

They get fat backsides. This is my Duke, he is a big lad for his age.
(Its not really fat though, he is solid as a rock, pure muscle). |

I was stuck between a royal and a house snake for my 3rd snake.
Ended up getting a pair of house snakes in the end and I'm so glad I did. |

My 2nd snake was 4 more corns!! but my 6th snake was a king snake. I found him just as easy as the corns to look after. I got a royal a bit later and found it quite stressful owning her (I'm a bit of a worrier) as she wouldn't eat. |

Sounds like someone really wants one but doesn't have one and will get out their voodoo doll against anyone who gets one before they do. |
