You're looking HOT Sherms :lol:

moose have a look in the Rogues Gallery and you might change your opinion! :lol:

I think he will lust for me even stronger if he does that!!
 
i want a diamond or a coastal is that is wat i want ok thank you.
 
When I first started posting my interest in getting a snake here I was told that any of the snakes listed in this thread would be good for a newbie, I can't understand why everyone is having a go at his snake choices, hozy, if you want a diamond go for it!

Here are some questions I think you should be solid on before getting your snake:

1) What temp gradient should that species be kept at?
2) What humidity levels should be?
3) What size enclosure should it be kept in?
4) How much and how often should it be fed?
5) How should it be handled and how often?

There are probably a ton more things you will learn and do, but if know this stuff and you have a proper setup then you are ready, as long as you are prepared to do the regular clean up and monitor the enclosure conditions regularly then in the words of nike: just do it!

Cheers.
 
And if you do decide on a diamond then you should give it a fews hours a week in the sun, wether it is necessary or not, it can only be benificial.
 
i think the only reason people are reluctant hozy is cause u keep changing ur mind but im my opinion u havnt said a thing that would make me think u couldnt look after a snake but hozy mate im sure u can find sumone selling a diamond or a coastal on one of those sites just contact a seller have a chat and see how u go

well
1.between 28 and 30 degs centagrade
2.i think between 43 and 60 should be good for most python plus the water bowl to boot
3.the size best suited to the species of snake
4.depends once again on the size and the weight of the snake and also depends on how often u want it to be fed myn will be fed once every week and a half or just a week
5.its not! to be handled after feeding or befor and after sheding but other then that wen its most active
 
thats the answers to your questions snake wrangler plz tell me if i am wrong in anyway which most likly i am but thats my idea on keeping a snake for those questions.

Come on people,give they guy a break!!!He's keen as like we all were at one stage and a bit of over enthusiasm for reptiles can't be all that bad ,plus hozy has brushed up on his puctuation so give so give the guy a bit of credit.I can recall quite a few people asking some ridiculous questions this year and now they are handing out advice as well as critisizing :roll:

Sounds to me you are well and truly ready for your first snake and personally i wouldn't recommend a diamond as a first snake due to UV requirements and different temp needs although the temps won't be a problem in Newcastle.I think a blonde mac from Bob would be a great first snake and his line grow to a fairly decent size and are very nice looking animals.There's plenty of places on the net advertising snakes of all kinds and you shouldn't be a problem finding something you want.

I say go for it hozy and good luck with your future snake whatever type it may be ,there's a huge choice and depending on your funds you should find yourself a nice snake.Make sure you ask the breeder or seller of the snake questions such as how placid the animal is and how well it feeds,get some pics and if possible go see the seller and view the snake personally.Any problems or questions that you may have after getting your snake should easily be answered by people on this site.As also mentioned earlier i would highly recommend buying the book "What's Wrong With my Snake"....You seem more prepared than others i've seen so go for it and enjoy your new hobby :)
