Aww...Man...Suddenly feel like going herptology..

After a few months of reading about snakes in forum and sites , i feel like i want one... I know that my mom would freak out but i don't care...

The choices of snake that they recomended me for a starter would be:
1)corn snake
2)king snake
3)ball python

According to the the fellow forum, these three snakes would be the best for a beginner like me.. So, i do some research on them....

And here what i get about them:
1)corn snake - good snake for starters..... A bit small for me

2)king snake - good snake for starters.. But, regurgitation is common in these snakes(result from handling them too soon after a meal, food that is too large, an enclosure that is too cool, or illness)

3)ball python - good snake for starters...But, they're notorious for refusing to feed for unknown apparent reasons...


Actually, i would prefer snakes like the green tree python or boa constrictor... But the fellow forummer stated that i should get used to the snakes first which i have to start with one of three snakes mentioned above... They also did mention that the snakes that i want (Green tree python and boa constrictor) is for intermediate level keepers/hobbyists...

There's one forummer that tell his experience about his newly acquired green tree python... he did tell me that he's also new in the hobby...First he purchase a Pueblan Milksnake...Then he felt that the snake a bit small... And in a few months later, he acquired the GTP(green tree python) from his friend... He did tell me that i have to clean the snake's tank once a week or so... Then, he said that, its easy to transfer the Milksnake to temporary tank cos the snake is docile(well, according to him, that is)... But when its time to clean the GTP's tank, he said that he always had the adrenaline rush when he need to transfer it to the other tank... He did mention that it(GTP) hissed at him whenever he touched it. Then it try to strike at him if he's still there disturbing it. Wow, there's one snake with seriously bad attitude... But, its really a beatiful snake... Looks like beauty do comes with price...

Well... Maybe i should go for something like the Kingsnakes...Dont know yet....We'll see... Time will tell...

May be i'll get it after i bought myself a good DSLR.... If i have a plenty of money, that is.... :))

No, wait.... I've got a vacation planned.... Well, may be after the vacation, i suppose...
