I posted this under the Rainbow forum, wanted to get some input from the Ball Python camp too. I just cut and pasted it.



Greetings, I am new to this forum and new to snakes as pets. My son and I are looking to get a pet snake. We've pretty much narrowed down our choices to a Rainbow Boa or a Ball Python. I'd like know the pro's and con's of each breed. My son is 7, so any snake handling he does will be under my supervision. The cage will be locked with a combination lock to prevent him from "opening it just for a minute" then forgetting to secure it. We want this to be something fun for us, but want to do it right too. Comments? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
