on what you are looking for, and why you are looking for it. Spotted and children's pythons are easy to keep, and are less common in the hobby. My young adult childreni are far from lazy, as put forth in an earlier post. Given branches, they climb and cruise and are always on the look-out for a meal. Plus, they exhibit a beautiful irridescence when exposed to sunlight.



Captive bred ball pythons are great, and usually have sweet dispositions as well, and cute faces as an added bonus. Wild caught captives can be problematic feeders.



BRB's require more specific care requirements, and are less forgiving when they are not met. Do the research on the husbandry and decide if a BRB is for you. They are truly gorgeous animals.



Corn snakes are always interesting captives, plus are easy to breed should you be interested in that aspect of the hobby. I love working with my corns/rats as much as my boas and pythons. Each type of snake teaches me different aspects of herp keeping, and I am fascinated to learn about their habitats in the wild.



And sometimes you just need to "connect" with an animal. If you keep going back to a certain animal at a show, or type of animal in photos, ask yourself what the attraction is? This may be a deciding factor for you.



Best of luck with your choice!
