    I’m glad Boas were on the intermediate list because of their size. I saw a big RUclipsr promoting them as good beginner snakes and so many people just underestimate how much room an eight foot tank will take up in three years or how much a rabbit every month will cost. Seriously as exciting as it is, it’s best to go with a smaller snake at first, no matter how prepared you think you are.

    • @JMoore68

      @@JMoore68 I don't own any boas, I was just going based off what I see them and many others feed larger boas. Like I said I was going off of the size of the snakes, as you need to drastically increase their tank size as they can reach great sizes. A lot of big snakes are surrendered because people bought them while they were small and no longer want to keep them once they require a tank that will take up a lot of space.

There's plenty of sites online that go into depth on the best sizes so I would recommend looking there, hope this helps 😊

    When my son was in middle school, I put him into an "adventure day camp" run by a local wildlife/nature refuge. They got to see and handle all sorts of creatures. The center owned a large boa constrictor named Cuddles. When they were going to take Cuddles out of his tank and let the kids play with him, I declared myself an honorary kid and held up about one foot of snake. One of the volunteers was afraid to touch Cuddles - she said, "But aren't snakes slimy?" and I said "Not at all. The skin feels like an alligator-skin pocketbook, dry and almost soft. Jut put your hand on him." She did, and she was surprised. Cuddles really lived up to his name :-)

    I'm getting a hognose in a few weeks, we've got an amazing breeder picked out, but this video made me realize that there's more than just the typical smaller snakes. Like, I had never even considered a boa or burm as an option and I had honestly forgotten they exist, and now I think that I'll look into saving up for one once I do more research (and more experiencewith snakes, as this hognose will only be my 3rd snake ever). I had a family member who had an albino burm and she was gorgeous, but she had lost an eye when she was a year or so due to being fed live and the eye getting scratched then infected and had to be removed. She's still alive I believe, but she's about 27 years old if I remember correctly. Anyways, thank you guys for making this video! I love all your stuff!

      Hi Carmen, I just got my first corn snake in July this year. It was very expensive. I opted to go straight for a 40 gallon glass tank (rather than purchase a small one for him as a baby, and then a larger one for when he got bigger). That was over $200 by itself, but plastic tubs are cheaper. The whole journey cost me about $500, with substrate and hides and enrichment and food and heat mats and temperature guns and thermostats all accounted for. The snake itself cost me quite a bit, because I got a special morph, but they can usually be sold for 20 to 50 dollars.
      But I really love my little guy, he is so sweet. He eats well, he's healthy, he's curious. Life expectancy seems to vary wildly depending on the expert you're asking, but the general consensus seems to be that corn snakes live between 15 and 20 years at best. Make sure you do your research and buy from a reputable breeder, rather than from a large name like Petco or PetSmart, because a good breeder will handle snakes early and let you know what you can expect from the breed, morph, and lineage.

    I love my hognose to bits. She's so beautifully derpy, and sooo docile, even as a baby. She eats from my hand and lets me pet her head.
    I'd love to get a woma one day; seeing an adult at a reptile show decades ago was the first time I went "whoa" and started to consider owning snakes.
    In birding we call the bird that starts you off in the hobby your "spark". Womas were my spark snake. 😊

They also thought she was aggressive too...but nope! Turned out she was a sweetheart even AFTER she had been basically mistreated ...ugh, it broke my heart this baby had suffered like that all those years. Now she's a happy girl and has heat and all the food she needs :) but my point is how sweet she was even after years of abuse and I hope people would look to a rescue as a source to find their BCI /BCC boas.

    Good advice and wonderful tips on snakes, most of all the Burmese Pythons, they are really docile and chill, the only time our 11ft albino we rescued ever bit anyone, was because handling prey and not washing hands, and one time, escaping from a cage, and someone's foot was poking out from under a blanket as they slept, and being blind, he struck at it thinking it was food. It was a scary wakeup call, but no perm damage was done and they all had a bit of a laugh about it afterward. But the most important info is to always have someone else around when handling them because they can accidentally kill people by squeezing around the neck too hard or cutting off circulation. They don't mean to, but they can do it by accident, same with Reticulated Pythons, which are a bit more "aggressive" compared to Burmese Pythons, and of course anacondas can be at risk of that too if you aren't careful.

  • @Kaizykat

    Oh, my first snake is most _definitely_ going to be babied as much as a snake can. _Especially_ if it's as cute as a hognose.
    I remember the egg-eating snakes from the room tour! Once you got them going, you couldn't get them to stop! All of their adaptations are so cool.
    BCIs are the biggest I'm willing to go with snakes. I always hear such good things about them and heaven knows I need a slow enough snake to catch.
    I really think you should have shown just how big 17-20ft is. Olive Oyl is still only about half the adult size and doesn't quite spectacularly show how long the adults are. They're absolutely beautiful snakes, but they are a _lot_ of snake.
    My parents hate snakes, so I'm not allowed to have them even if I'm paying them rent. But once I'm solidly out, I'd love to keep a small variety of snakes. The first one will be either a ball python or a corn snake. Once I'm comfortable with them, then I'd love some garters.

    Personally, I would love to get one of the huge snakes like the burmese or the boa, but I definitely don't have the room. Maybe eventually I will... I'd honestly love to have a massive adult snake and have their enclosure pretty much take up an entire wall, with tons of space to stretch out and climb, and have the whole thing be bioactive. It'd be like having a living wall.
    Anyways, I don't even have my first snake yet, my grandma had previously said absolutely no snakes while I'm in her house, but recently she changed that to a maybe, so hopefully in the next year or so I can get my first snake, which will most likely be a ball python. They're my top favorite snake ever.

    The price increased a lot for me! I got a normal type western hognose that's hot conda and he was less than a week old! He was almost 300$!

    I actually caught a common boa in the wild in central America once and it was a total sweetheart! He had a ton of ticks all over him and stayed almost perfectly still when we removed them from him, literally as docile as a pet boa. They really are gentle giants 🐍💕
