Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on a good species of snake for a first time snake owner. I've been doing research and I have many questions, not only about species but also their care and requirements. I want to make sure I know as much as I can before I take on such a responsibility.
What is a good species for a first-time owner? I do like the look of jungle carpet pythons, could this species be an appropriate choice?
What time of year do most breeders sell their clutches? What age/level of development will they be at? Are there trusted breeders local to the Brisbane region? (I'm a local)
What size enclosure do they need at different stages of their life? When can I move them into an adult habitat? What material is better/makes them feel the most comfortable (glass,wood, etc.) Where did you source yours?
An estimate on the initial setup costs? Monthly/yearly maintenance costs of food, bedding, electricity etc?
Any other important information I should be aware of that I have forgotten?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, I want to make sure I am fully prepared and chokers full of knowledge so that I can give my snake the best I can. I am aware some of the answers can be found on the internet but I really wanted to get some advice from real people who have experience in caring for reptiles.
Many thanks!
