Some questions...

Ok, I have a few questions here. I am thinking of getting a snake and have got it down to either a Ball python or an Arizona Mtn king or a Grey banded king. Now im no stranger to reptiles I have had beardeds, iguanas, skinks, frogs(I know it an amphibian) and a whole lot more between me and my brother, so keeping them at the right temp and humidity is no problem at all. That in mind which of the snakes would be easiest to take care of, Ive heard balls are picky and kings are real pigs as far as snakes go. My other question is how well do snakes tolerate noise, I mean any kind of sound like talking, music, sounds outside anything from quiet to LOUD, I only ask because I dont know the answer and snakes dont have any ears so I am just very curious to see what if anything it might do.

Of the ones you mentioned I would go with a grayband...unless the Ball python is a PROVEN feeder.

As to noise. Sound is irrelevant. But the vibration level is another issue. Snakes are basicly deaf as far as air borne sound goes but the vibration of a heavy metal sound might affect them negitively.
