Advice on first snake

[tomsnake]

Hi there everyone,
this is my first post. i have always wanted a snake and i have 2 empty fish tanks and thought that this was my chance. I have got my reptile license and am now looking for the right species of snake.
first question is which tank should i use, and what are some suitable snakes for it?

the first one is L100cm W40cm H50cm. I have concerns about the width in this tank. :|

second tank is L90cm W50cm H50cm.

My second question is what are some small enough snakes to be able to live happily in these tanks?
Thank you.

I have my wheatbelt stimson living comfortably in a 90×45×45

Depends what state you live in as to what species you can get. Here in wa the stimson is the only small species we can keep

stimmie is a great choice

What ever you do mate make sure you have good fitting lids on those fishtanks

sorry forgot to mention that im in NSW. i really like the stimsons. is there other snakes similar to that size?
thanks

 

[Grogshla]

yeah mate the stimson, childrens, spotted are all great choices. They are all from the same family of pythons and all get around the 1m mark. The spotted can get to around 1.3m

Woma! But check the locale, some can get quite big.

Unless appropriate heating... Glass tanks r not really suitable

Ditch the fish tanks and get a timber enclosure, especially in NSW. Glass can't retain heat so it's not very good unless you can keep the room warm 24/7.
