Best first timer snake

[repty23]

Hi,
I wanna get a new snake, it will be my first. I have alright experiences with snakes but i dont want ones that are hard to care for. I would like one that grows really quickly and grows between 1.5m to 2m. One other thing i dont want one that need a really tall cage.
Thanks

Darwin's are always a good option weather it be albino or not? I have both and they are both really calm pythons love being held

How about a woma python, easy to care for, grow fast, great nature, fun to watch, terrestrial.

My younger brother got a Diamond as his first snake. Great looking animals and great temperament, in his experience at least...

Spotted python. I love mine. easy to care for, a small cage is all thats required and very placid.

Childrens/Stimi/Spotted all good, Woma would be my other choice fo something a bit bigger. As far as growth rate as I understand it, it depends on how much and how often you feed them, why do you want it to grow quickly?

MD's i reckon

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

whatever snake you like would be my answer as they all have their own individual character, but my personal favs are MD's and womas..

Youve described a woma or as i call mine rat vacuums

 

[bimbo]

If I was to pick a python in that size range it would be a woma

 

[GeckoJosh]

If you dont want a tall cage then I would be looking at either a Woma, Spotted, Stimsons or Childreni

 

[Skelhorn]

For that lenght Woma is your BeSt choice. Something just beneath that, children's or Stimson's python are your next best choice.
Feed a snake nutricious food and correct sizing and they will all grow quickly.

My next snakes will be 2 womas...excellent feeders (can associate hands entering the cage as food (but I have never heard of one biting outside the tank)) and they are an easy to keep snake.

Good luck and don't forget to tell us what you choose

LMFAO rat vacuums. Best nickname ever! I love my bredli, so I'ma say a bredli

my first snake was a murray darling and is my favourite snake in the world. easy to care for and in my opinion, the most hardy. they can get over two metres, but not by far and not all the time. they would like an enclosure thats tall, but as long as they can get off the ground (tree branch) their fine. mine has never bitten me and shows no sign of aggression.
so if you want a non aggressive python thats hardy, easy to care for and makes a good pet, you cant miss the MD's. love em!

him well i really wanna woma but their a little expensive i think i might get a stimmie

 

[jakedasnake]

a diamond python was my first snake, it depends wat u really are looking for

 

[KaotikJezta]

Womas can be found at a reasonable price. One of mine was only $220

 

[Cyann]

a spotted is the way to go, feed it as much or as little as you like, can grow to 1.5 m very placid, great place to start when it comes to snakes

MD's get my vote as it was our first.

BHP, byootiful snakes! Was our first snake but not the last haha! (oh at 2 years old ours is 7 foot and heavy, 100% toilet trained and a dream to handle).
