Hi there. I'm only new here too.
I have a spotted python who was brilliant from day 1. He/she settled well and fed 3 days later and has been generally well behaved. Is my first & only snake (at the moment,:lol.

Hi Banshee,
Welcome to aps. As for what type of python to get, thats up to you. Do you want something that wont get that big? Or are you happy to get something that will grow up to 12 foot as long as you grow with it? Im into Blackheaded pythons myself, but they are not everyones 1st choice.
I will attach some pics of a few of my BHPs and my Coastal Python for you to check out.
As a 1st snake I dont think you can go past a Diamond or Bredli. Hopefully people can post some pis of them for you to check out aswell.
Cheers Andy.

g'day, and welcome to aps!
if you want something small for your first snake then go for a stimmie, great temprement, very easy to handle, a little flighty at first, but thats easily taken care of with constant handling. if you want somethig that gets a little bigger that you can grow with, then i would go for a diamond, they are by far my favorite, very very placid snake!

Hi Banshee, Welcome to APS, and yes it is a great site, full of informative people, good luck with your first snake, do plenty of research and ask plenty of questions first. A good first snake is probably a Childrens or Spotted python.
