Bredli or Diamond?

[Venomous_RBB]

Hello everyone, my brother is interested in a Bredli or Diamond Python.
Just a bit about my brother:
He is a beginner, hold's my BHP yearling and my dad's Spotty. He has fed them both, cleaned them out etc etc but is still a complete beginner and would like to know about which one would better (as a hatchy) to "handle"
I have suggested a Bredli, is this the right choice or would you recommend something else?

[Albino93]

both bredli and diamonds are good beginner snakes if ur looking for something bigger. from what ive read they are both fairly placid snakes. depends on which one he likes the look of better
if it were me id go for a hypo bredli

[Venomous_RBB]

He has always loved the look of Diamonds, but has found the look of the bredli to be very interesting and has done some research on them. He is 16yrs, 17yrs in Aug but mature for his age.

Bredli might be a tenth easier to keep, so it really comes down to what he is going to be happier with.

I would say Bredli all the way, but that is a personal opinion, and I would not argue the point with the trolls.

[Albino93]

maybe he can get a bredli as his first and a diamond as his second?

[Tinky]

It goes without saying that he will get a second, third, etc

Herps are an addiction.

But first things first...........

That sounds good, he is really interested in the Classic Bredli but has loved Diamonds all of his life.
Does anyone know the best site with the most correct information in it?
I know - Snake Ranch, Dolittle Farms, SXR etc. I know these are great sites with a lot of valuable information but interested to see what you guys think their temps should be at etc.(Bredli)

Definitely, we started with 1 snake, then i got my girl and my brother wants one, my mum already has a Beardie, lol.

im pretty sure that bredli's are kept at normal temps like most pythons, 32 degrees at warm end and 26 degrees at cool end

Woma Very hardy snakes so easy to keep

Both

I would say Bredli as a biased opinion haha, but as a first time snake I would say that Bredli are a fraction easier and a little more forgiving on the husbandry side of things, so are great for beginners as first snakes IMO...

Yeah thats what I thought, thank you

I think they are good snakes, but my brother doesnt seem to like the look of them, because he used to the BHP that has the black head and not the Woma that has the unusual coloured head.

Both

He wishes, nah, we are just getting one herp each. My mum and dad are fine with their two but me and my brother want the whole house to be herps

Thank you The one in your avatar is adorable.

What are Bredli's temperaments like?
We got a Spotted as our first snake as people have said they are a part of the Children's Python family and are really quiet. But she can get moody and snap sometimes, she is still a great spotted. I know all snake's are different and they all have their moments, they are still wild creatures, I know that. My BHP that I got told not to get as they are for experienced people is the most placid snake and loves to be held, no cage aggression, eats like a horse and I think she is beautiful, being biased most likely, lol.

Go a bredli

[jakedasnake]

a diamond was mine first so i would go a diamond they are placid

[Bec]

I started out with a diamond than a bredli. It really does come down to personal choice. My bredli is a snake ranch classic which im over the moon with and my diamond is from a member off this site which im not sure if he is still breeding them?. Both have great personality's and both are a pleasure to handle.
