Hey people. I'm just about a week and a half to two weeks away from getting my first snake. Have loved snakes all my life, but unfortunately haven't ever been in a situation where i've been able to own my own (read: family & ex had huge morbid fears of snakes).
Anyway I'd pretty much made up my mind that I wanted a diamond python or a bredli. I only discovered this site maybe a week or two ago, and since finding it have spent many hours browsing the forums for information ultimately leaving me with a few questions before I pick out my new family member.
I know the two are great pets etc, which in your opinion is a better snake for a complete beginner? As stated i've never owned herps before, and would like a relatively "low maintenance" snake for my first shot so I can get it right; wouldn't want to hurt the little guy!
Open to other suggestions, however not particularly interested in antaresia's.. (stimpsons, spotteds etc)
Also:
How long (typically) does the shedding process take? I've learned that their eyes turn kind of milky and they will be off food? can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
-Bung
