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
