Has ha we've had advice that childrens tend to be more nippy than stimmies. No? Guess it does depend on individual snakes and perhaps also early handling and care by breeders.
I don't know about VIC licencing but @
missie66 might also be worth checking out the list of allowable species on the applicable licence category, this narrowed it down for us as there are only a handful that can be kept as first snakes here (not that we have one yet
). I assume antaresias would feature just about anywhere though so seem to be a good fit perhaps for you too.
Remember to let us know and post pics when you get one. Pleeeeease.
