I'm interested in getting my first snake. Either a snake, or a rat/mouse. But I think I'd enjoy a snake better. Problem is, I know nothing about keeping them for pets (well ok, very little aside from the basics; IE feed them, keep them warm, and don't keep small kids around them).
What kind of snakes are good first ones? Is there like, a Labrador snake? Also how expensive is the initial set up? What else do I need to know? (there's a broad question)
I found a snake advice blog thing but it wasn't really helpful, and I can't find much else about starting out with them. Either there's not real big snake communities (I usually search for forums to begin new hobbies) or I'm searching the wrong stuff.
It did, however, recommend a Milk, King, or Corn snake. I've never heard of the first two, but am familiar with the last one. That and a Ball Python have been two I've commonly heard referred to as good 'starter' snakes. Any truth to that?
By the by if you search Google images for 'snake', you can see a picture of a guy with a snake going through his nose and out his mouth. Pretty wicked. Better than some other 'snake' connotations that could've come up.
