hiya guys,

In trying to keep this post brief
My son wants a snake
problem is he wants a snake that doesn't eat small fuzzies
(we keep rats and he has a pet mouse)
he understands the "circle of life" but isn't quiet ready to feed a type of animal he keeps a pet
i know i need to get some books for us to read
but to be honest i don't know where to begin
there is SO much out there about snakes
it would help if i had a general idea about species

id love some advice from you guys about possible species fit his/our requirements:
(and if these requirements can realistically be met)
something we can handle
something that can eat fish
something not terrible demanding as to setup

we have a variety of pets here
dogs, cats, a mouse, ratty babies, rabbits, bearded dragon, legless lizard, pink toed tarantula , eastern ornate box turtle, fish...(im sure im forgetting something... shame on me huh)

he is young.. only 8
ill be the primary caregiver for the animal
he has had some exposure to a friend of my daughters boa constrictor(whom he loves..)

thanks in advance for your time in reading our post and for any thoughts or advice you can give

D
