Hi all
I'm new here. Don't own a snake, but I'm planning on it! Trying to do as much research and save up for a proper enclosure first.
I'm very interested in owning a Jungle Carpet python. Having never owned a snake before (had previous experience with reptiles such as turtles and large lizards, but nothing like a snake) I'm going to have a lot of questions.
For one thing, would a jungle python be okay for a first snake? I really don't like the look of snakes I've seen most people recommend such as a ball python but I love the look of a Jungle python!
As a rough average, for people with experience with such snakes, what is their usual temperament?
One that is calm and quiet, just happy to sit on you for ages..not very aggressive or nippy (though in theory, I probably can cope with bites from a hatchling or juvie...)..that would be perfect. I have researched other species such as Diamond Pythons, but I just love the Jungles!
Any advice regarding species, size of enclosure, etc is greatly appreciated!! Thank you.
