a first snake

[geckofreak570]

what would you recomend for a first time snake? i want either a cornsnake or a ball python

Cornsnakes are hands down the best begginer snakes out their IMO. Ball pythons tend to be fussy eaters and problems shedders which tends to be stressful for begginer snake keepers.

i would have to agree. while ball pythons are awesome snakes. i think for a first time snake a corn snake would be the better choice. they can be fussy eaters. sometimes bad shed but i dont think any more so than other snakes. they allot of times go off feed in the cool months. i say corn snake. once you get some experience with snakes in general a ball python would be a second great addition though

what do you use for substrate for cornsnakes?

 

[robin]

if they are young i would use news paper but once they are older and larger i would suggest aspen
