Question Best snake for me

Hey everyone im new to this so please excuse any mistakes i make.

I live in the south western most part of NSW on the murray river. The climate is dry and hot most of the time.

I have an enclosure i built from an old cupboard and in measures .--6ft L -- 2ft W-- 2ft H--.

I was wondering what the best type of python would be to get for this size enclosure. I will soon have a categorie 1 license which allows me to have these snakes http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/PDFs/reptile_licensing_outline.pdf
(plz note Class 1 license)


Any info you guys post is sure to be helpful to me.

Thanks

Depends

It really depends on how much money you have to spend. All snakes vary in prices and if you get a hatchy it will obviously be a bit cheaper than an adult.

I'd go for a Morelia Bredli (Centralian Carpet Python). Should cost you no more than about $300 and have a great temperament and fairly easy to look after.
