To be honest i started on a 7ft male. I really don't think it matters. Most will say go the small stuff, hey i mean small bite small ouchies. But i know of far too many people getting their first antaresia, getting nipped by it then being completely terrified of it ever since.

My most recent addition is an 18 month old carpet python, the guy didn't want money only a carton of XXXX. The snake was suppose to be feral and only fed on live mice. The snake had no name (i named her America after the band who sung the song 'The horse with no name') offered her a frozen rat which she smashed and she has never looked back. The bloke is really peeved off that the snake is nice for me but not for him. I told him it wasn't the snake it was him. This guy was terrified of this animal.

Get a yearling.... lot easier to handle than a hatchling and a little more forgiving than an adult

Careful, If your location really is Tasmania , then I think you can't keep non-Tasmanian snakes
