What are the best beginner snakes?

Hi there, Am looking for a beginner-friendly snake that is 100cm - 150cm. I am looking for something that is larger than just a yearling, which is why I've put 3 years old - but am flexible with age. Would love carpet pythons, diamonds, or even jungles with a good-ish temperament. Open to...

Hi, this is my first ever post! I'm planning to get a blonde spotted python soon but I've always wanted a jungle more than any other snakes. Problem is I've never owned a snake before (hence, I'm planning to get the spotted python) and the only reptile experience I have is with my current pet...

Hi everyone i've been wanting to get a snake for awhile now but not really sure what snake i should get. preferably a "beginner" snake that is friendly and fairly active (because i would like a change in pace because my blue tongue hides for days on end) and gets to a decent size but nothing to...

Hi all, I understand that you probably get quite a lot of questions similar to mine, but for some reason I feel the need to write me own thread. I'm planning on purchasing a snake early this september and need suggestions on which type of snake I should get. I'm alright with decently a snappy...

Hi everyone! For a while now I've been looking into adopting some Australian green tree frogs but I want to be 100% prepared, especially when it comes to setting up a vivarium for the first time. For the vivarium's heat source, is it better to get a heat lamp or water heater? From what I...

Hello! New snake owner, and I have questions about stressors for Stimson's pythons, and what I can do to reduce said stress. The backstory: I recently aquired an adult Stimson's python + enclosure from a teen who had decided he didn't have time for said python any more. The python seems fairly...

Hey All! hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm a first time snake mama, and i was initially advised to get a Spotted Mac as they are a great first time snake... but then was advised to get a Bredli as they are very docile... I've been doing research and i just kind of seem to get mixed...

I have an 18 month old Coastal Carpet Python, Just shed a 80cm skin (shes 60cm or so long). What size should she(?) be at this age? How much should I be feeding her?. She has only been feeding 1,1,2,2,2 pinky rats with me, the first 4 weeks she did not want to eat with home change etc. Thanks

Hi. I'm looking to buy my first snake, and the water python really calls to me. I was wondering if anyone would recommend them as beginner snakes, or if I should get one after I have more experience with owning snakes.

So I've owned my first reptile - blue tongue skink - for almost half a year now, and definitely want to buy my first snake this year. What do people think is generally the most docile and curious species of snake available in category B for WA? Are they the 'best beginner snake' too? (Not too...

Hey! I'm starting to look into getting a pet lizard but am having trouble finding information on the types of lizards I can keep in Queensland and reputable breeders/pet shops. I would prefer a gecko but I've read that they are a little more advanced for someone who has never owned a reptile...

Hi, I am asking this question for a friend. Do you know any beginner lizards apart from blue tongues or bearded dragons. Thinking of ackies but not sure.

Are GTPs aggressive? I know they have longer teeth than most pythons but are they okay with being handled? What size enclosure is necessary? I have heard something about a 'fragile stage'...? Any other useful info?
