Hi! My name is Sarah, I am coming to you today from Pet Land in Pembroke Pines, Florida and on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am going to speak with you a little bit about choosing a pet snake. As far as which particular species of snake is right for you that is up to you to decide. First time reptile owners should not get any snakes that are going to get very large such as a Burmese Python, an anaconda or a reticulated Python, as these snakes can get very aggressive once they are older. They will also require an entire room of your house once they are full-grown. The kind of snakes that you want to consider having as a pet will be one like this a ball Python. Ball Pythons generally tend to remain very docile throughout their lives if they are handled regularly. They stay to a very fairly small size which means they are not going to need much larger enclosure like you would for a Burmese Python or a reticulated Python as their adult sizes can reach anywhere from 15-20 feet and most normal households most normal families are not prepared for this kind of pet.
