Long time waiting i'm actually getting my first snake after owning other reptiles

I'm up in arms whether to get a murry darling/coastal or jungle.

My tank is 4ft x 1.5ft x 2ft

| | | | I would go for the Murray Darling (Inland Carpets) there is an article in the Reptiles Australia Mag and they say they make excellent first snakes |

My kids handle him also. He has always eaten with no problems.
I just cant wait for his first shed (well first since I have had him)

I have 3 hides and 2 stubbie holders in there so he always has somewhere to hide warm or cool, and as I said previously havent had any problems with him.
