Snake Assistance Required!?

well it depends on if you want a really big snake or a fairly large snake. Everyone that starts off with a snake as a pet usually aims toward the ball python. They reach around 4-5 and if handled correct are very friendly and would make a wonderful pet. I have had 2 ball pythons in the past and now I have 2 Columbian red tailed boas. Me personally I like the red-tails because of the size (anywhere from 5-12+ft) and my boas are only a month old so seeing them grow will be a great experience. But also they will need a BIG enclosure. I recommend custom building rather than buying an expensive set-up.Hope this helps a little, any other question don't hesitate to contact me. Good luck
