As I have metioned previously, my newest interest is looking up random facts about snakes. I used to have a little Ball Python, but it died shortly after we got it, about three to six or months, it choaked on a mouse that was too big. I just love all animals and eventually I might want to add on to my family.
I was reading this thing about the top four (or was it five) snakes for pets. Cornsnakes were at the top. The third was a kingsnake, and the fourth a ball python. (It was top four). The second was the one that some what suprised me, I had figured it be something like a milksnake.
No, it was a gopher snake. It showed a picture and I looked a little up. From what I understand they are kind of like a bull snake. You know, pretends to be a rattlesnake when threatened.
It also said that they make great pets because they get really tame when they are handled regularly from birth. But that is kinda usual for most pet snakes, right?
Then, it said that they only get just under or over six feet.
Is any of this true? I've never heard of it before, so sorry if this is making you go "wow, she's clueless!" or rolling or eyes or something because I don't know that much in the snake world compared to something like dogs or cats (which most people know about). I just was curious.
Thank you for any info, just the basic stuff like difficulty of keeping, how hard it is to find, and so on. Also any stories about your experience.
The guy who had this website with the top four said that he kept them and his was great, never struck out, never acted up, only missed a few meals, mostly because of shedding, that sort of stuff, and it was the snake that he always got when visitors came and wanted to learn more about snakes.
Really aroused my curiousity. Oh yeah, I put the picture of the snake that he had on the website at the bottom.
Thanks.
