The Best Beginner Snake

“Step bro…can you see my plumbers crack?”

Bus😩

My ball python is lovely, but I agree. She had a bout where she didnt want to eat for about 7 months, it took a trip to the vet and many wasted rats before I realized the cold end of the enclosure was not warm enough. She's doing great now that I have the temps figured out.

Great and easy to listen to presentation style. Subbed here.

I would recommend that for the rough edges of the pots that you use a hot glue gun to put a thin layer of glue so there is no sharp edges for both you and the snakes

Can you (if you havent already) do a video on tour house snake like a how-to? I have a ball python right now and humidity and heat are killing me 😢

i mean he should obviously be called odysseus

Never heard of this snake before, but strongly considering it as a first snake. Seems like a chiller more unique cornsnake.

💗💗💗

Your commentary is mine on my daily life. Just ADHD and forgetting things.

Me watching this after getting a ball python:

What about Seigmund?

I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful or rude, but i genuinely dont understand the appeal of having a snake. Do they actually have personalities? Do they enjoy interacting with their owner? Do they get excited when you come home?

Is anyone gonna talk about the grippers in the thumbnail!?!?!?

My first (and only) snake was a California King Snake named Nigel. She was absolutely gorgeous with black and white stripes. And she was super smart. I had her for 24 years.❤

African house snakes don't seem that widely available, and the humidity/temp requirements you list are pretty similar to corn snakes. Seems a better bet to advise people to just get a corn snake rather than a less common snake that is likely harder to find, more expensive, and may or may not be wild-caught (?)

Like, you're not wrong that Ball Pythons are not as easy as advertised but corn snakes, king snakes, milk snakes are all widely available and pretty easy to care for/good eaters.

love seeing smaller snakes get big enclosures, it looks great!

Hello! I really enjoy your content but i’d appreciate if you stopped letting the dawgs out every chance you get. Thank you, have a great day!

Now I want a noodle

I went with a corn snake because I'd never had a snake before, and I was worried about a ball not eating or requiring live food (I'm not against it but it's hard to get here). Super healthy lil thing that's fun to handle, even if he isn't a fan of sitting still.

housesnakes are very nice and cute snakes and easy to take care of. they stay small and eat great. they just like to hide a lot.

Mmm toes

u should name Penelope's new handsome boyfriend Steven

This whole video has been so chaotic.
My dude, knives are for hands, not for toes.

I know that parrot! He/she(?) makes so many noises when he's not staring at me like I'm the asshole.

My first snake was an african house snake, he was perfect. He was older and he was looking for a home. He spent his last few years with me and I now have a number more snakes. He was just lovely

name that dude reginald

I'm South African. I've had house snake pets before. The wild ones are bitey 😢

Today I saw a huge black ratsnake slithering into the pipe. I called 2 of my friends and we were gonna keep it but it was dangerous.

I bought my daughter a ball python that was only 5 inches long for her 14th birthday because she begged me for it and said it was the only thing she wanted. I bought the ball python because the owner of the pet shop said it was the best kind to get for a first-time snake owner. Well, I was the one who had to go to the store every week to make sure it got live bait. I was also the one who got stuck with it when she got tired of her pet snake. I really liked that snake till he got to be about 3 feet long and started hissing and making strikes at me. I really became scared of him when he got to be 5 feet long and had to give him away to a male friend of mine who built him a cage and wasn't afraid of him. I never wanted a snake, but took care of one for a few years anyway.

Wei Li, my ball python and first ever snake have NEVER bit me even once, not even when she thought I'm going to feed her lol Kinue, my african house snake on the other hand is indeed very explorative, curious and intelligent, much like Wei, but oh man... She's the type to bite and ask questions later LOL She bit me like three times allready, each time it being a food response (not an agression induced bite, but attack bite, she even coiled around my finger and only let go once she realised it's me and not a rat). She eats like a boa LOL and has a food response of one as well 😂😂😂😂
Oh... And I need to mist Kinue's enclosure all the time, or she'd have horrible stuck shed which it almost invisible on her dark sleaky body, much less noticeable than on my ball python lol
But that only shows that every snake is different. Much like people, snakes also are individuals ❤

I own a Oketee Corn Snake named Noodles<3 he is about 2 years old and very healthy he sheds atleast once every 2 weeks. I have this statue of a tutle in his tank named fred and every morning he knocks it down

If you're looking for something on the smaller side, my son got a Kenyan Sand Boa this year and I would 100% recommend as a first snake. Docile, easy to feed, and overall low maintenance. Something like 1.5 - 2ft adult length.

YES!!! i have an african house snake, and shes the best!

snaek!

I don't know if I'm lucky, have good husbandry, or a mix of both but I've got 2 ball pythons and I have only had 1 skipped meal. And that was because I didn't realize my BEL was about to shed. He was a very picky eater with his breeder. My best guess is there wasn't enough cover in whatever the breeder had him in.

I just love you. I know nothing about reptiles but you made learning fun. I think you are adorable.❤

bro what is this thumbnail 😭

I have an albino one but she hardly ate when we first got her and she has barley grown-

I'm not the only one who uses flavor to substitute every other way to describe things?

This video is great.

I love your charisma ❤🖤. Your videos really help me . I’m getting my first snake and you’re making it easier. Thanks 🙏🏿

Tossing the ailing jade plant shattered my soul, bro

Best first snake is a corn or rat snake. Change my mind.

I think I’m lucky because my ball python after a lot of trouble initially with eating but now it has been perfect

If you’re gonna pair them up exclusively, may I suggest the name Odysseus? He seems like he came a long way for her, and they look meant for each other! ❤️

I’m new to this snakes as to be my pet,I love wild animals but my family doesn’t (can you do how to handle and feed a snake?) 😅
People say ball payton isn’t great for beginners if they are like very picky eater

Not even 2 minutes in and I'm subbing ❤
