Hey guys,
I've been looking at getting my first snake, while building my first vivarium, and today I went to a fairly close reptile shop.
I saw some nice Children's, including a very hungry one who bit a staff member - one of the staff members opened the enclosure it was in, noticed how hungry the snake seemed and left it open trying to get some food for it, the snake was on the point of coming out and that's when another staff member tried to close the door and got bitten.
But then I noticed a special on juvenile Spotted Pythons and asked if I could hold one, they'd already feed an adult Spotted Python, it was a very pretty young animal. It did strike out a bit and then wizzed on my hand, perfectly understandable I'd have thought given just how much bigger I am then it is, but I still liked it a lot and according to the staff members I talked to I wouldn't have to up-size the enclosure I'm building.
So I was wondering about the pros and cons of Children's and Spotteds?
