Yeah, I agree with all that Mike, although the floor area in a 10 gallon is pretty small, but it will suffice for many younger types mentioned for a good while anyway....minus the green anaconda, unless it is a fresh newborn..LOL!!

I wouldn't really recommend a milksnake for a "starter snake" for most though, as younger one's can often be EXTREMELY nervous and flighty, and will often bite and sling poop and musk more than some of the others as a general rule until they mature some. But if it is an older milksnake that has some size to it, it could be okay. But finding an older milk at a pet store for $60 bucks or less could be a real challenge...LOL!

I would recommend a cornsnake for a beginner snake for most kids.
