Good advice from everyone! I have had a lot of snakes, variety is nice. I have a ball python since 1992 that is about 5.5' and very docile. I have had other balls over the years, some nice, some aggressive. The only thing I do not like about balls is their going off feed for months. My female will go off feed for 7-8 months. Most breeders always feed live rodents to get their females in condition. If you decide to do frozen thawed be prepared for your ball to go off feed. Once they get live it is very difficult to get them back on frozen thawed.

I have had rosys and they can have an aggresive feeding response. Even for your fingers. Some never grow out of it.

Corns are great for a first snake if you do not want a large snake. I am partial to nice Okeetee's. Good luck!
