Personally i would go with a smaller type such as a stimson etc.
They are pretty forgiving little things and have a lot of personality and could be handled by you 2 year old quite easy as they average about 1 meter. JMO

Gorgeous Jozz, hope my fella turns out nice like that when all grown up, he has nice colouring now.

Hydra what state are you in. Reptile City here in SA is where I got mine.


My hot end is at about 36 ??? On/Off with a thermostat.

But im only a novice, but all seems to be very happy.

Havent gone through one yet and I have had it about 3 months.

They are on 24/7 but thermostat controlled, red heat light 24/7 (on thermo)

And a normal light which is on a timer for 12 hours on a day.

Haha Bredli and MD are two of my more skittish snakes! Well the MD has little girl syndrome i always say but she's settled down really well. Tried to eat the computer screen the other day... so cute!

Get whichever you think looks best i reckon... if you think that jungles are stunning get a jungle and handle it heaps, same with the others as well... temperament is not ALWAYS a species thing... not ALWAYS (my jungles a typical jungle...)! Whichever you think looks nicest! Any of them would make you more than happy!

Here's a recent pic of my maccie (aka. Spotted Python). He's so cute and cheeky and i'd give him to a kid to hold any day! And he's gorgeous! In real life he's really light (not blonde just light) between his spots. The breeder i got him off produces some stunning 'normal' macs!
