I've never had much fondness for those "What should I get?" Threads, but here I am about to post one anyway.
I've wanted to get into snakes for the last few years now. Every time I go to the shows, I find myself lingering longer and longer over the reptile displays. But I don't know what kind of beginner-type snake I should look for. I don't want a corn snake. I've never found them even the slightest bit interesting. I like size, but no boas or pythons, either. If I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night in a snug embrace, I'd rather it be the husband's.
Can someone familiar with snakes recommend a fairly docile, handleable species, preferably with some color or contrast to it, that I can start researching?
Thanks!
