hatchling will still bite but it wont hurt, an adult you may find some quiet and placid animals but you will find people will sell placid snakes but a bite from a adult snake will hurt a lot more.

Mustang, despite popular opinion, was not evil! He was just "misunderstood". I so regret selling that little beauty I still dream about him believe it or not!! At least I know he has gone to a very good home and I can ask for no more than that

Get a hatchie elias, you will be able to learn as you and the snake grow. If you can, go and see afrofishydude and he will give you a good run down on keeping hatchie snakes and feeding etc. right through to housing adults. You will be able to see how big some of these animals can get and you will also be feeding your snake defrosted mice/rats for the majority of it's life.

cool just waitin for a reply on location? um the vivarium that is being built for me is 4x2x2 is that large enough. is it possibel to tell what a snakes markings will be like from wen its a hatchie

 

[hugsta]

RE: Re: RE: new ta this

Sure is elias, depending on the snake, for a childreni a don't believe anything bigger than 900x450x450mm is necessary.

i think im goin to go with either Coastal Carpet Python a murry darling or a bredli wat do u guys think

 

[Dicco]

RE: Re: RE: new ta this

All are good starters, Coastals and Murrays are more affordable than Bredli, but Bredli usually have nicer colours, as for the temprement it really depends on the individual snake, in the end it really depends which one you like the most. If possible go see the snake first hand before purchasing.

RE: Re: RE: new ta this

I think any of those are a good choice If you go a hatchy be prepared to be bitten, and would be a good idea to get a click clack for it. But I recckon have a look a round;check the members photo galleries as their are many forms of costals; all from different region with varying markings and color.I think that you should ask around too as I believe that there is a few hatchling almost ready to be sold by members of this site.

RE: Re: RE: new ta this

If you can afford it a bredli IMO is very nice.

RE: Re: RE: new ta this

Yeah elias, the Bredls are just beautiful, nice nature too usually

Hey elias, Dave and I are getting our first snake. We are going for a Murray Darling hatchling. Going to keep it in a small click clack tub, as advised for the first 6 mths. Cheers Cheryl and Dave
