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 |

Ball pythons are lovely to look at but i have heard they are boring snakes to have. I held a milk snake the other day and it was quite lively which i liked also lovely colours. |

Poor Royal Pythons. They are not boring they are very laid back fat snakes with quirky personalities. Granted they don't do all that much and are fussy eaters but they are so lovely and beautiful beasties.
My next project is a Green Tree Python, they are stunning. |

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. |

| 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. |

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. |

Me being one! Want one so bad but no may end up with a darn legged royal *grumble grumble*
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! |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

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). |
