Most 'first time' python owners (in Australia) usually go for the 'Antaresia' genus- This includes the Spotted Python, Childrens Python, Stimsons Python, and Anthill Python/Pygmy Python. This is because the snakes are much easier to care for.

My first snake was a Jungle Carpet Python, i did a few months of research first ( i was soooo excited!!) and she is quite easy to look after ; so it is really up to you what snake you would like... But i highly wouldn't recommend getting a snake like a Green Tree Python as your first!!!

yeh its just what snake you want really but defiantly wouldn't recommend a GTP or depending on you size a scrub python or anything like that.

Most snakes are good firsts , pick one you like the look of and can afford to house / feed and do some research on that particular one .

Caring for a spotted python is no different to caring for a woma or MD or bredli .... they all require an enclosure , heat , water and food.

first decide on what kind of size u could handle, then look for breeds that fit those sizes,....

personally, i dont like small snakes, but heaps of people choose them as their first.

Can't help you with any breeders in QLD, maybe check out petpages and look in the QLD Reptiles section, you may find a few for sale there. (I just had a look and there are a couple of people selling Bredli's on there now)

My first python was a Bredli, they are an easy to look after snake. My first one was really snappy and took a bit of handling to get it out of him and now he's fine. But thats not all hatchling Bredli's, my second one is very placid and never has that nervous feeling. Good luck mate.

Snake ranch that's where I'm getting my blonde spotted from. They freight them.

I agree, start there.
Research specie, and determine if you can comfortable look after this specie.
Then make a decision.
Good luck.

Are you joking? Pet shops are the biggest rip offs when it comes to buying herps!! Cunningham skinks at $200 each and plain old stimmes at $495. Come on..
