>>Hello...

>>

>> My knowledge about snakes is still in its infancy, but I have always wanted a snake and I am now looking to get one (now that I am moving out of my mother's house)...

>>

>> I have been looking at different snakes that I would like to get and here are a couple of things that concern me...

>>

>>

>>I Want A Snake That:

>>

>>1.) Will not kill me & is usually calm. (Nipping at me is bad.)

>>

>>2.) Sounds cool. Certain names sound really cool, some sound wimpy. "Ball Python" sounds cooler than "Milk Snake."



Don't take it the wrong way but if you are hung up on if the name sounds cool or not, well that is not something to base picking a snake on. If it is infuencing your decision maybe you are not realy for a snake yet.

>>

>>3.) Is colorful. Ball Pythons are a bit camouflage-y and brown, while King Snakes & Milk Snakes are very colorful.

>>

>>4.) Is large! 5 Feet is OK, but 8 Feet would be better.



Again, since this is your first snake you don't want a huge snake. Maybe one of the carpet pythons. But that name may not be cool for you.

>>

>>5.) Is Calm, Colorful, & Huge!

>>Thank you!!!
