what would be the better strat off snake a spotted python or a diamond or something else ??? thanks
that is an idea, if i ever get termites in the house i will just get a few blind snakes!get a blindsnake, cheap to feed they only eat termites
If you are only planning on getting one animal consider things such as the size which you will be comfortable handling (not just as a hatchling but as an adult), size of caging required, relative costs (feeding/heating/initial purchase) and any specific husbandry requirements (eg. do a search on diamond python syndrome).
I agree with what AM Pythons has said do your research and chose the animal which you like. Other people like to give advice or opinion but this is based on their likes or desires at the time (example your post asked spotted or diamond and the first reply recomended albino darwin or hypo bredli).
Remember this is a publicly accessed forum advice or recomendation may be given by contributors that have had no first hand experience with the species they are talking about and in some instances they have never actually kept reptiles at all.

P.S. No offence intended to those offering sound advice, just a warning with regard to the keyboard keepers that love to give advice but are relying on internet experience rather than actual accumulated herp keeping experience or reference to specific herp related keeping publications (eg the Keeping series by Australian Reptile Keeper Publications, Keeping and Breeding publications edited by Swan and Care of Australain Reptile in Captivity by Weigel just to name a few).
