RE: Best Substrate???

I think maccies are great, shop around and see if you can find a nice quiet one, my little boy was so quiet and has never tried to snap, regardless of what i do to him!

why not get an inland taipan! great to handle, loads of fun and will keep you on you toes, or go for a Mulga. Beautiful looking creatures... :lol: just don't let 'em bite you, good luck with whatever you choose!

Get a Diamond hatchling. Ours is a champion. As soon as the UV light goes off she's tapping on the glass wanting to come out. Never even looked like biting and doesn't miss a feed. Great first snake.

I tossed up between getting a diamond and the python that i DID end up getting (coastal) for money reasons. she's only bitten me once (in about 4 years), and that was because i was arrogant and thought i could get in and out of the tank before she snapped at her food (she was coiled ready for a feed) **/embarassed**
