Kinda true for me (everybody's different) I have never had a snake but I think the dog food is the same as the rodents because I have never bough them but I assume there expensive like the dog food
hah, and my dad says "on it costs too much too feed it.." and "oh theres no room.." when there is a crap load of room. PLUS WE FUCKING HAVE 2 DOGS, USED TO HAVE 1CAT AND 1HAMSTER. LIKE BRUH.
Absolutely. My son was bugging me to get a snake so I bought him a baby green anaconda a couple months ago. I've never been so popular! He took it to school for "show & tell" and it was a huge hit.
I couldn't agree more i left it out of the cage then went to the store, and when I came home my child was gone and there was a big lump in the child's belly, huh he must have fed the snake then ran off :/
Choosing your first pet snake. Step one: Decide which morph of ball python you like. Step two: Buy the ball python. In all seriousness though. Ball pythons really are the perfect first snake. Especially considering they have so many paint jobs. That's just my opinion though. Sure maybe 1/50 might be a little nippy just as a baby but most of the time they all calm down eventually.
Alex Crowder yeah i really want one but everywhere it says that they live 30-50 years :((( i want one that only get like 20 years old and something that is very tame and doesnt get to big, ive been looking at mexican black kingsnake but idk
Alex Crowder I prefer corn snakes, but that's me. Maybe my temperament works better with theirs, who knows. I have a beautiful ball python though, and she trully is a sweetie.
I'm really intrigued by snakes and I want one, but I don't want to have to deal with the guilt of feeding it little mice and stuff, because I'm a lover of rodents and I had many in my childhood and still have some. Any ideas??
All snakes are carnivores and it's a good idea to feed them rodents. Garter snakes can live on a diet of fish, if I recall, but they still should have rodents supplemented to them. However, you do not have to feed a snake live mice. It's actually better for the snake to feed them pre-killed frozen thawed mice. Many pet stores feed their snakes this. It is better because live mice can injure the snake or carry parasites, but frozen thawed will not.
As Penultimate said, you could get a garter snake, which the can live off worms and fish (if supplemented with calcium and vitamins) but rodents are a better complete diet. Another option if you love the look of snakes but don't want to feed them rodents, you could always find a legless lizard. They are lizards and eat insects (worms and crickets) and are more active/and behave more like a lizard then a snake. They are pretty cool but you don't have to feed rodents, though adults still benefit from eating small rodents now and then. Personally I love my snakes and I like mice/rats, but when I buy the frozen mice and thaw them out I see them as prey, not pets. Just don't ever buy live rodents for the snake and you should be good.
I had a garter snake and he would eat earthworms and I got him on a diet of frozen fish where i had a block of frozen cod and would slice off some strips and just thaw them out and he readily took to them. They can even be trained to eat raw chopped meat. They're good eaters. Fish is very healthy for them. As for rodents none but the largest garter snakes can handle them unless they're premature mice. And they could actually be injured by a live adult mouse. They bite back and in an enclosed area like a tank that can be dangerous. Also as an excellent alternative is live goldfish in a shallow bowl. They'll scarf them up no problem.. I found this out by observation from Ribbon Snakes and Garter Snakes who would periodically dunk their heads in their water bowls and peer around as if stalking. A fun feed which keeps them actively in predator mode and gives them the calcium from the bones. King snakes make great beginner pets also and are tame and good eaters of dead prey. Just make sure you run any frozen prey under hot water cause they sense heat and will take it much easier.
I had a Black Arizona King Snake and it was the sweetest thing! He could only eat pinkies (Baby Mice) and we got the frozen mice and we out the food in a separate cage to keep them from snapping at us because it thinks we have food. We moved around the mouse with a 1 foot pair of tweezers and he was fine with it. Ate about once a week. We used glass aquariums to house our snake. We had a smaller glass feeding cage.
Thanks for the great information. A lot of the other videos I've come across, the people only seem interested in the way the ball pythons look.. & they dont provide much information on keeping the snake happy & healthy. So it's good to see someone who looks like they really care for the little guys. Thanks again.
My first snake was a Burmese python. They are extremely aggressive. She would strike me from time to time. It didn't hurt, but it broke the skin,and startled me.
hope to see everyone decide to have a snake he is ready for it . good job man that u take care really good of urs. I saw too many ppl has nothing of the supplies that u have or have any knowledge about snakes.
are there any good medium size snakes that don't get as big as the ball python but aren't as small as the king snake? Something that gets maybe two inches in thickness, & five to six foot in thickness. I'm thinking about getting my child a snake but I want to do as much research as possible. I don't want the snake suffering for my ignorance.
It'll be some time yet before I get one just so I can be well researched on it, the snakes health is my primary concern. They'd both be supervised I'm not like some mom's who let their kids go. I only plan on getting one when I feel comfortable that I know how to take care of one & I can successfully demonstrate to my child how to handle one
Steven Smith You can get corn snakes, or hognose snakes. Hognoses are cool for kids who like something different. Corn snakes have a bit rougher texture than ball pythons, and milk snakes are also a good choice. They are smooth and docile, smoother than a ball python.
Heather Williams You could also get a king snake, but don't get one if you're planning on having other snakes. They'll bite if they smell another snake's scent. But they're beautiful and do come in many colors.
in my opinion ball pythons are giid for kids becasuse if they get scared athey just curl up into a ball while some other snakes may prepare to strike.Its in ball python nature because they're naturally docile
Hey guys, So I really want to get a corn snake! I have started doing lots of research on how to take care of the amazing reptiles and I am convinced I have the money and care to be able to look after one. But I have one question, Is a corn snake at all venomous? because I have seen some sources on the internet that they are but not near enough venom to actually cause injury if anyone can tell me the true facts that would be amazing!! p.s I think I may call him Leo! ;) MobFrenziedHomicide
Corn Snakes are NOT venomous at all. Corn snakes also like playing and human handling as they are not digesting. Im planing on getting one this christmas
When I asked my mom if I could get a snake she looked at me like I said I was gonna vote for trump ( no offense to ppl that like Trump ) and said, "what are you crazy?!?!?!? No!
I just bought a beautiful juvenile pastel ball python today. She is very welcoming to being handled. When I asked the breeder about her feeding and when she was last fed I was a little surprised. The breeder has been feeding her small, live mice. But when I asked when her last feeding was I was told that it was 2 weeks ago. I want to start her on frozen/thawed mice, but wonder if I should still wait 1 week before trying to feed her. She is in a brand new terrarium with 3 hides in it. She explored her new house when I put her in it and has moved and balled up in 2 of the hides. This is my first snake since about 1968 when I had 26 garter snakes that I caught wild. Anyways, any suggestions you can give me would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much for the video! I've been thinking about getting a corn snake sometime in the future, but want to research the best ways to care for it first. This video has helped me a lot and I feel confident that I'd be able to care for it well. Thanks again! Your snakes are beautiful, by the way.
Your King Snake is funny. He just refuses to cooperate with you. ^ ^ I loved the middle of the video when he peeked his head out of the hide, then shot back inside when you focused on him.
I don't know if he'll answer you, but from my personal experience, when you first get a snake, let it get use to it's surroundings/enclosure. When you go to pick them up, try to not approach them near their face. Just pet their backs a little to let them know you won't hurt them, then just pick them up without hesitation. It's a little scary at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Hold them a couple times a week to start. After that, hold them often as long as they feel comfortable.
LOL 7:55 "Sup Bro?" I've been deciding what pet I want to keep me company when I get a place of my own soon. Finally decided on a king snake, but you have a lot of great facts in this video! Some I haven't heard before like "Don't worry if they skip meals...unless their ribs are showing" and others I have heard like "don't leave live food un-attended" Nice to see a video where someone knows what they're talking about. Definitely the most informative video i've seen in the past week! KUDOS
I might be getting a baby ball python, but not in a special morph. I guess you could call it the "basic" morph, but looks don't matter! I am so excited!!!!
Rosy boas are the most docile snake species known. I would recommend it as a first pet snake considering they are the smallest snake species and Really easy to handle. Also they come in really beautiful colors depending on the type you get~
It's not something that will harm the snake, but rather you instead. Snakes that are fed inside their enclosures have a higher risk of striking/biting you when you reach in to grab them because they assume you're something yummy to eat. Also, making sure your hands are clean when you do reach in always a must -- but that's a given.
Ball Pythons tend to be nippy when they're babies but grow out of it as they age and get used to being handled. It's actually called tagging. You usually don't even notice they've bitten you until you notice a red mark later. No big deal.
My baby ball python eats every time. Never been picky. By the way I am 12 and LOVE snakes! My dad has owned them before he had me and my brother,I handled one for a little bit when I was a around 6 years old. I wish more people understood snakes.
Snakes aren't expensive compared to warm blooded animals when it comes to feeding. An adult cat will cost you around 1-2€ a day, depending on activity. But if you can't spare around 1.000€ a year for an animal, you probably just should get a kid. The state loves kids and pays for them.
*Dudette, actually. When it boils down, it's a matter of preference. I prefer to not feed my snakes in their tank, but rather in a feeding box. That way I can clean their tank while they eat, so by the time they're done, I can slip them back inside a clean tank.
its recommended that you give a snake a few days to settle in before trying to feed it. especially with ball pythons. they can be very finicky eaters so you'd wanna give it time. in reality its up to you if you want to try to feed the snake when you first get it. ive had boas and retics that i was like "what the hell, lets try to feed you" and ate within the first 10 minutes of being in my house. but for many its best to leave em alone for a few days
Ball pythons will get anywhere from 4-6 feet, but most will get to four. Ball pythons are less "active" than colubrids like kingsnakes or cornsnakes, which means you can house an adult Ball comfortably in a 20 gallon tank. But, don't be afraid to put them in a bigger tank, bigger is better. It is better to gradually increase the size of tank relative to the size of the snake. :D
Im not so sure about lengths, but i know for gallon sizes. You don't want a terrarium too big for a snake. They need more length than height. For a 5ft corn, you're going to want about about a 40 gallon tank. For 3-4 feet, you'll want about a 25gallon, for 2ft you should do about a 15g, and for anything smaller you can't do any smaller than a 10 gallon. You usually find them small, so make sure to get the right size tank
It just depends on the breed to me- Corns and my Cali King would be "okay" to feed in the tank because they're all very docile. Other snakes, especially larger ones might be better to feed in the tank as well just because they gut grumpy after being fed - nobody wants to be grabbed and carried around on a full stomach. I feed mine in a large cardboard box because she usually makes a bloody mess of her food and where i keep the box is way more quiet than where he tank is, most of the time.
Haha, I'm trying to do that too. Since it's christmas now, I already have $300 to spend on the snake. My dad is horribly afraid of snakes, but I plan to keep it in my room
Smaller snakes such as Garters and corns, and even rats are all very feisty and hyper animals, none you can 'chill' with. I'd suggest a burrowing python since they're very down to earth, to themselves animals. Or a hog nose, despite how they're pretty curious animals. If you don't mind one that's sort of big, go for a regular ball python. They're very nice animals, and even a buremese won't eat your kids. I'd trust my 5 year old brother with my 10 foot burmese any day!
This is SO informative, thank you. I'm still trying to decided on what snake I want, between a corn,king or ball python. I love them all, I'm just trying to figure out which one is less daunting to start with.
Lauralovex I just got my first Ball Python (and also my first snake ever) a few days ago. I have read that like 99.9% of the time Ball Pythons are completely docile. So far my little Ava has lived up to that. Even when they DO get scared, they will most likely curl up into a ball rather than resorting to striking, so there is almost 0 risk of getting bit. (By the way, when they aren't feeding, and they strike, they don't actually *BITE* down. They just open their mouth and shoot their head at you. It's more of a tactic to scare you away than to harm you. Their teeth may scrape your skin a little bit, but they won't try to puncture you.)
I would love to have a snake. But I have an almost 5 foot female green iguana. She keeps me busy enough as it is. Maybe one day though. I would love to have a ball python. Gorgeous snakes :)
because if you try and grab it out of the cage it will think its getting food so if you put it in a box or in something roomy it will always know that its it feeding time
i built my red tail boa terrarium out of pine but put Plexiglas inside to seal it off from her, it works too, but if you also do this remember to put Plexiglas inside to shield your snake from the pine (it's toxic to reptiles)
Feeding a snake is still cheaper than feeding a cat or dog.
very true
Kinda true for me (everybody's different) I have never had a snake but I think the dog food is the same as the rodents because I have never bough them but I assume there expensive like the dog food
Me.K Google is always there ;)
Janet Griffiths yes they don't eat much
hah, and my dad says "on it costs too much too feed it.." and "oh theres no room.." when there is a crap load of room. PLUS WE FUCKING HAVE 2 DOGS, USED TO HAVE 1CAT AND 1HAMSTER. LIKE BRUH.
when the king snake poked its head out at the python and darted back in haha
+Cody Copper The Snake looked like it was trying to say "Hey, Sup." xD
I know that was so freaking cute lol
snakes are beautiful
adelatuna danger noodles/sneks*

Funny guy, lol!

Lol
LOL
Your King snake looking out of the hide was pretty darn cute. I have a corn.
Do the corns smell bad?
Calum White Not at all.
Green anacondas make great beginner pets ;).
Absolutely.
My son was bugging me to get a snake so I bought him a baby green anaconda a couple months ago. I've never been so popular! He took it to school for "show & tell" and it was a huge hit.
Nice! How big is it now? Ive heard they have a fast growth rate.
I couldn't agree more i left it out of the cage then went to the store, and when I came home my child was gone and there was a big lump in the child's belly, huh he must have fed the snake then ran off :/
Lol meant snakes belly
Steven Smith What a good son! Maybe he ran away to get more food? :)
OMG SNEKS R SO CYOOT !!!>.

Free speech is nice but also shut the fuck up sometimes
Choosing your first pet snake.
Step one: Decide which morph of ball python you like.
Step two: Buy the ball python.
In all seriousness though. Ball pythons really are the perfect first snake. Especially considering they have so many paint jobs. That's just my opinion though. Sure maybe 1/50 might be a little nippy just as a baby but most of the time they all calm down eventually.
Alex Crowder yeah i really want one but everywhere it says that they live 30-50 years :((( i want one that only get like 20 years old and something that is very tame and doesnt get to big, ive been looking at mexican black kingsnake but idk
Findus most ball pythons live 15-25 years lol
-noir n blanc- yeah i figured it out the shop gave me wrong info
Alex Crowder I prefer corn snakes, but that's me. Maybe my temperament works better with theirs, who knows. I have a beautiful ball python though, and she trully is a sweetie.
And also know that males are smaller than females.
I'm really intrigued by snakes and I want one, but I don't want to have to deal with the guilt of feeding it little mice and stuff, because I'm a lover of rodents and I had many in my childhood and still have some. Any ideas??
All snakes are carnivores and it's a good idea to feed them rodents. Garter snakes can live on a diet of fish, if I recall, but they still should have rodents supplemented to them. However, you do not have to feed a snake live mice. It's actually better for the snake to feed them pre-killed frozen thawed mice. Many pet stores feed their snakes this. It is better because live mice can injure the snake or carry parasites, but frozen thawed will not.
As Penultimate said, you could get a garter snake, which the can live off worms and fish (if supplemented with calcium and vitamins) but rodents are a better complete diet. Another option if you love the look of snakes but don't want to feed them rodents, you could always find a legless lizard. They are lizards and eat insects (worms and crickets) and are more active/and behave more like a lizard then a snake. They are pretty cool but you don't have to feed rodents, though adults still benefit from eating small rodents now and then.
Personally I love my snakes and I like mice/rats, but when I buy the frozen mice and thaw them out I see them as prey, not pets. Just don't ever buy live rodents for the snake and you should be good.
thankyou!! this helped me.
I had a garter snake and he would eat earthworms and I got him on a diet of frozen fish where i had a block of frozen cod and would slice off some strips and just thaw them out and he readily took to them. They can even be trained to eat raw chopped meat. They're good eaters. Fish is very healthy for them. As for rodents none but the largest garter snakes can handle them unless they're premature mice. And they could actually be injured by a live adult mouse. They bite back and in an enclosed area like a tank that can be dangerous. Also as an excellent alternative is live goldfish in a shallow bowl. They'll scarf them up no problem.. I found this out by observation from Ribbon Snakes and Garter Snakes who would periodically dunk their heads in their water bowls and peer around as if stalking. A fun feed which keeps them actively in predator mode and gives them the calcium from the bones. King snakes make great beginner pets also and are tame and good eaters of dead prey. Just make sure you run any frozen prey under hot water cause they sense heat and will take it much easier.
They enjoy live mice best, if you want a snake you feed him what he wants not what you want.
i would recomend a burmese python
I had a Black Arizona King Snake and it was the sweetest thing! He could only eat pinkies (Baby Mice) and we got the frozen mice and we out the food in a separate cage to keep them from snapping at us because it thinks we have food.

That ball python was so fucking amazingly coloured, probably the best looking snake ive saw but just far too big for me to handle.
King Snake looking him after he says they are escape artist. King Snake is like ''wtf man! Dont tell that shit to everybody!''
Good! That's two +1's for you! A) you got a snake. B) you get to keep your lungs!

Oh my gosh that python is BEAUTIFUL
after looking for info, came across your video, extremely helpful information, much appreciated!
Awesome video, the work you put in to it totally shows!
Those snakes seem to get along alright together. I would have thought that they'd be fighting
My baby ball python eats every time. Never been picky. By the way I am 12 and LOVE snakes! My dad has owned them before he had me and my brother,I handled one for a little bit when I was a around 6 years old. I wish more people understood snakes.

*that moment when you want a corn snake or a BP then your mom says no because your cat ate your pet rat*
As long as you treat it right, feed it well, and respect it, you wont have to worry about it hurting you
usually you keep small corn snakes in about a ten gallon tank, but the biggest size you'd need would be a 30-32 inch long tank.
*Dudette, actually. When it boils down, it's a matter of preference. I prefer to not feed my snakes in their tank, but rather in a feeding box. That way I can clean their tank while they eat, so by the time they're done, I can slip them back inside a clean tank.
I got my first a month ago and I'm 64. A 3 year old kingsnake off kijiji. I love him
For anyone who's scared of keeping a big ball python they will only get that big if you feed it a little more than recommended
its recommended that you give a snake a few days to settle in before trying to feed it. especially with ball pythons. they can be very finicky eaters so you'd wanna give it time. in reality its up to you if you want to try to feed the snake when you first get it. ive had boas and retics that i was like "what the hell, lets try to feed you" and ate within the first 10 minutes of being in my house. but for many its best to leave em alone for a few days
I am terrified of snakes but I watched out of curiosity. It was very informative.
Ball pythons will get anywhere from 4-6 feet, but most will get to four. Ball pythons are less "active" than colubrids like kingsnakes or cornsnakes, which means you can house an adult Ball comfortably in a 20 gallon tank. But, don't be afraid to put them in a bigger tank, bigger is better. It is better to gradually increase the size of tank relative to the size of the snake. :D
Im not so sure about lengths, but i know for gallon sizes. You don't want a terrarium too big for a snake. They need more length than height. For a 5ft corn, you're going to want about about a 40 gallon tank. For 3-4 feet, you'll want about a 25gallon, for 2ft you should do about a 15g, and for anything smaller you can't do any smaller than a 10 gallon. You usually find them small, so make sure to get the right size tank
It just depends on the breed to me- Corns and my Cali King would be "okay" to feed in the tank because they're all very docile.
Other snakes, especially larger ones might be better to feed in the tank as well just because they gut grumpy after being fed - nobody wants to be grabbed and carried around on a full stomach.
I feed mine in a large cardboard box because she usually makes a bloody mess of her food and where i keep the box is way more quiet than where he tank is, most of the time.
Because of your help I got 3 snakes 🐍🐍🐍😀
That ball python is beautiful 😍😍😍
Corn snakes and king snakes make awesome beginner pets
My mom was pretty chill when I asked for a snake. I'll be getting one in about a week
your snakes look well fed :•) very cute
They're very good starter snakes. Keep an eye on them though, they're very quick and very good escape artists.
It depends on the individual, but corn snakes appear to be the most docile.

I bet that snake's all "dafuq why can't I move forward"
Haha, I'm trying to do that too. Since it's christmas now, I already have $300 to spend on the snake. My dad is horribly afraid of snakes, but I plan to keep it in my room
I really want a snake but like usual my mom doesnt like snakes and lizards and would never let me get one
Smaller snakes such as Garters and corns, and even rats are all very feisty and hyper animals, none you can 'chill' with. I'd suggest a burrowing python since they're very down to earth, to themselves animals. Or a hog nose, despite how they're pretty curious animals. If you don't mind one that's sort of big, go for a regular ball python. They're very nice animals, and even a buremese won't eat your kids. I'd trust my 5 year old brother with my 10 foot burmese any day!
Beautiful animals. :) thanks for sharing
ya we dont care
beautiful pattern on your ball python. Do you know the name of that kind of breed? "Ghost; pastel?", i'm a noob when it comes to snakes
Such a beautiful ball python!
That's a great place for a milk snakes to get lost. They can find their way in to your bed springs, in the insulation, anywhere..
Thanks man I've been teaching myself for quite a bit, I've always wanted a korn, king, or ball for my first snake so this info really helps
Rarely do you find anything other than the regular morph in pet stores. That's why I check the internet first. :)
This is SO informative, thank you.
I'm still trying to decided on what snake I want, between a corn,king or ball python. I love them all, I'm just trying to figure out which one is less daunting to start with.
Note ball python male are smaller then female because female have to carry the mass of the eggs
ball python live up to 40 years,king live up to 20
Lauralovex I just got my first Ball Python (and also my first snake ever) a few days ago. I have read that like 99.9% of the time Ball Pythons are completely docile. So far my little Ava has lived up to that. Even when they DO get scared, they will most likely curl up into a ball rather than resorting to striking, so there is almost 0 risk of getting bit. (By the way, when they aren't feeding, and they strike, they don't actually *BITE* down. They just open their mouth and shoot their head at you. It's more of a tactic to scare you away than to harm you. Their teeth may scrape your skin a little bit, but they won't try to puncture you.)
Your snakes are gorgeous!
I would love to have a snake. But I have an almost 5 foot female green iguana. She keeps me busy enough as it is. Maybe one day though. I would love to have a ball python. Gorgeous snakes :)
because if you try and grab it out of the cage it will think its getting food so if you put it in a box or in something roomy it will always know that its it feeding time
At @8:09 minutes in that little duck that the widdle snake did was soooo cutee.
Hey! That's Bob Clark in that magazine! Haha. I live right down the road from him here in Oklahoma City. Great guy.
Real great video, thanks a lot. Thinking of getting a ball python in a few months. Very thorough explanation
i built my red tail boa terrarium out of pine but put Plexiglas inside to seal it off from her, it works too, but if you also do this remember to put Plexiglas inside to shield your snake from the pine (it's toxic to reptiles)
I thought Ball Pythons were adorable....until i saw how big they get...
My cousin his name was EX and he has a python always around his neck. It was trained.
Snakes & a Cat? Awesome. Nice snake tips.
Thanks man, for my first snake I've always wanted a king, corn or ball for my first snake so this info really helps
