Breed Info

[pagrech]

I am a first time snake "pre" owner. I am surfing the net and visiting all the stores I can to look at snakes to choose a breed/colouration. I have narrowed down my list to Eastern Blotched, Jungle Atherton, Vic Inland, Cape York & Murray Darling. Can I get some feedback and info from owners on the suitability of each of these breeds for a first timer? I am after the basic info like feeding problems, temperament, size, handling issues?

Much appreciated.

Hiya pagrech,the only one i keep is the eastern small blotched as hatchies the are tiny & can be a lil fussy to get started feeding on pinkies.As hatchies they can be a lil bit snappy but bites very rarely draw blood & they soon grow out of it.As adults i find them to be great snakes & very good handlers.

All those are good beginner snakes.
I have a murray darling in my collection and he is the most placid of all my snakes.
