I've found this forum invaluable over the last couple of months and want some advice on how I should approach my entry into the world of herp.
I have researched and researched and I'm convinced that the snake I want is a Black Headed Python.
Most people have told me that I should start out with a hatchling, watch it grow, etc but to be honest the thought of waiting a number of years to get a fully grown snake doesn't appeal. I would happily do this with a second snake, essentially I would like to start with a grown snake that handles well.
Can anybody give me some good advice on whether a grown BHP would make a good first snake?
