OK so my nan has agreed she will give me money for a snake for Christmas, I have always wanted a Python so thinking about going down that route.
Just wondering what would be the best one to sort of start off raising Pythons with?
Any particular kind that's a little bit easier to handle and also don't want some 15foot thing, maybe sort of 7-8foot at most?
Thanks for any help and sorry if this should be on Python forum.

I do have to say king as they look awesome or a rosy boa :3 or another small boa. You don't want a royal, their fat somehow even though people stress about them not eating. Would hate to see the size of one that ate every meal.
Carpet python wouldn't go well if you had laminate flooring. Though they are pretty. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I was also told maybe an IJ Python?
They look quite nice and don't grow too big apparently. |

If im right in thinking you mean an Irian Jaya, then that is a capret python. The Jungle Jaguars are nice too. |

Or a nice Woma Python they are goegeous and not that big either. But a Brazilian Rainbow Boa is perfect as they don't grow no bigger then 5 - 7 ft and the temps for them are about the same as a cornsnake but they need alot of humidity which is not a problem just buy a fogger from maplin for £15 and thats the humidity sorted . |

I could get both really, I don't have a budget (not to sound c0cky) but my nans buying so I can get whichever I want.
So both does sound good, but after seeing some other morphs or corns, I'm now thinking maybe just another corn, really not sure what to do when I have such a wide selection :( |
