Pet snakes? I have a collection of snakes, garters, ribbons, milks, corns, kings and rat snakes. I want to see snakes, but more reliable do not know what snakes are good snakes for company. i'v thought pythons ball pythons and boas trees, but what others are they??
for the three races you have already mentioned.
ball pythons are amazing pet snakes. they vivarium conditions simplistic, very similar to corn just need a slightly higher humidity, which can be achieved by placing the water dish on the hot side of the vivarium rather than the radiator. they get a good size, averaging between 4 and 5.5 feet. and thick like a can of soda. feeding on large giant rats in adulthood. They are easy to handle and not aggressive, I have not yet found a ball really aggressive / Royal, who was not only afraid of cracking, the one with the Royals is that they are eating very blurred, Looking at your collection date snakes that you are the kind of reliable power, Royals are very picky and can starve themselves for weeks just because they do not want to eat. They are very secretive, it and the snake, if you have a royal you need a minimum of three hides in the vivarium, in a hot one in the middle, and 1 in the radiator. but the main problem with the Royals, as I said is that they are fussy eaters, mine usually goes to eat during a period of eight weeks, then take the month off and refuses to eat during the 4 weeks. its quite worrying if your used to "feeders Normal
pythons boa tree / tree tend to be a very aggressive snake, and both require a vivarium Tall that many people can not provide their animals. a boa / python, you will need a viv approximatly 5-6 feet high, 3 feet wide, 2 front foot backwards, perhaps an old wardrobe that no longer receives used, such size. for what you need to heat both high and low in the tank, heat soil heating mat for the bottom, the snake should decide to stay low and you need the lights on top and place the snake must decide that it would be high that day, under-floor heating is not the heat throughout the tank so that both would be necessary. The spots would need a kind care about them that used to heat other snakes can get burned badly.
boa snakes are generally fine, if they are handled and owned by the people correctly. You do not say what kind of boa you looking at? Common boa (Boa constrictor) can get anywhere up to 13-14 feet in length, and would need a viv. to take account of its size as such, a full common rabbit production is to eat small and medium once every fortnight or three weeks, or 2 large rats a week. . boa constrictor imperator also known to some as the dwarf boa, gets an easier size, averaging around 8-9 Mark up, eating a large rat a week is also much cheaper to feed, the only drawback is the colors of this species is generally not as strong as it is to look on the town.
As to what other types of snakes go, hognoses perhaps? closest to a real poisonous snake that most of us would ever succeed? or something small, but mighty? Maybe like a boa sand in Kenya? or you do not say what your situation is space, or what size viv you are looking to host the new species, if you have plenty of space as a room used parts laying around, you can always opt for one of giant species you may be a Burmese python, the possibilitys are endless of what you might choose. but my two options would probably Hognose West, or a Kenyan sand boa.
There are all types of python and boa species there as the carpet, jaguars, children, rainbow boas and those that you mentioned. Emeralds can be more difficult than the other tree pythons and most are still being imported at that time. They can be.
