Hi there.
I thought that i should write a little bit about myself so here we go lol.
I am 15 and live in Chehsire, NW England, and really love reptiles. At the moment i don't have a snake but am getting one for my 16th birthday in November. I will probably get a corn snake but was thinking about a royal python ( the feedings habitats of the royal is my main turn down ). I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a hamster. I love sports especially fishing and archery. There is a bit about myself and glad to be a part of the forum  |

 , and welcome to the forum.
We're all a good bunch of chaps and chapettes here, although no one is 100 percent of my sanity.
Look forward to questions pics, and general gabbing. |

| Hello and welcome. I agree with the others, a corn snake is a perfect first snake. I'd never owned a reptile till late last year when I bought my corn, and they're so easy to care for. Be warned though....they are addictive....I'm already debating whether to get a milk snake or a bearded dragon for my birthday next month! |

I agree with everyone else- get a corn over a royal for a starter snake.
Royals are cool, but I get more pleasure out of my corns. Royals don't really like to be handled and hide even more than corns do. A corn would provided more entertainment for you and they are easier to keep because you're not worried about humidity and feeding problems. |

| welcome!!! a Corn is the better starter snake out of the two - You can always get a royal after you have had your corn for a while. |

I think thats conclusive proof. Corns 7 royals 0, or 8 nil including my vote.
I got my first corn last year and now own three and considering more.

lol
and say that the younger they are the cheaper they are and make up some crazy stuff that isn't true lol.
I have waited since i was 9 for the answer of " Yes jordan, you can have a snake" so maybe waiting till nov won't be to bad though. also christmas money to create a better habitat. |

Where abouts in cheshire r ya?...i'm just keen to find more and more reptile shops that I can spend my weekends mooching round!
P.S And I still got pressies on xmas day...cos mums and dads dont like it when u got nothing to open on the day haha |
