Ive been told that i can get any snake i want as long as i can handle it!!!

[Rainbow-Serpent]

Here are the conditions


- It cant be incredibly fat
-A 10yr has to be able to handle it

my size limit is around the 1 and a half mark , but if its only like 10 or 15cm bigger then that would be okay.


edit* ive looked up snakes and ive found "Jungle Carpet Pythons", they seem very pretty, any good?

 

[aussie.snakes]

Probably a Stimpson's python or a Spotted python would be best.

 

[gonff]

ur options are..............1. stimpsons python 2.childrens python 3. spotted python

all are pretty good

my fav is the stimpsons python

 

[gonff]

or a pygmy python but they are rare..............

hope that helped

Yeah, stick with the Antaresia species. Can't go wrong there.



Good luck

You could get a nice woma (just make sue you grab a small locale) as long as your budget is a bit bigger then a spotted.

If you have been told you can get any snake you want but you have to be able to handle it i would just say to your parents "the albino olive is a great first time snake" :lol:

Wait to they see the price.

Albino Darwin Carpet are very placid and a dream to handle.
Great first snake

What about an Atherton. they might be a bit chubby when full grow, but if you get a hatchie, by the time its full grown your ten year old will be 15-16. they can grow together.

Hi Rainbow,

Usually I'd recommend a coastal carpet for a first time snake, but if you're looking at something that small then your best bet will be with an Antaresia of some form. I personally think that Maccies are the best looking (but that's just my opinion), and of all the Antaresia I have my Maccie is the most placid. They won't break the bank either ;-)

Ha!

Yeah i tried that, the saw one up for 30,000 and Mum nearly fainted! hehe it was a good laugh.

 

[Ersatz]

Tell her you want a scrubby python.

Just assure your mum it wont grow too much over 7 or 8 metres

 

[funcouple]

an eastern brown

 

[waikare]

get a jungle mate i did for my first snake

 

[Rainbow-Serpent]

an eastern brown

Haha, funny.

 

[888lowndes888]

Blonde Mac, Spotted, Stimi or Childreni are probably your best bets. Antaresia family are great first snakes.

 

[Sturdy]

mate for sure a keelback is for you.

 

[pythons73]

Just get a pair of green tree pythons,when they get bigger than 1meter,i will take care of them...seriously Antaresia family you cant go wrong...

 

[pythonmum]

Another vote or the Antaresia as first snakes. Easy to keep, stay reasonably small, easy on the budget. We've got a maculosus and a stimson - both brilliant animals. You might like to buy a yearling. They aren't so tiny, so can't escape as easily.

get a bredli they are awesome and easy to handle
