It’s time to choose what breed of snake you want to keep as a companion! As a first-time snake owner, you are going to want the simplest and best snakes to take care of. These snakes are also very gentle, easy to handle, and quite easy to take care of. Here are the best snakes for new snake owners to keep as pets!
- Ball Python
- Corn Snake
- Milk Snake
- California Kingsnake
- Rosy Boa
- Gopher Snake
I recommend not getting a snake not listed here if you are a first-time snake owner! You can branch out to explore new breeds once you become more experienced.
These snakes are wonderful as beginner snakes and are very simple to take care of. Ball Pythons, Corn Snakes, and Milk Snakes will always be the top three for me and the snake community. Make sure to do plenty of research about which snake would be perfect for you and what you want. Don’t push yourself to get one you can’t handle just because it looks cool, make sure its the best snake to take into your life.
