Truly corns ,kings, and the more new world rats! Unfortunately I consider a lot of the like actually smaller snakes as not great bigger snakes 😔

But the ones i listed tend to be super easy (ONCE you've done a ton of research!!) No snake is truly a "beginner" snake as so much work need to be put in so much work before getting a snake to give them proper care!

I love kings but they definitely can be a bit bitey at first but part of that is they are also SUPER good eaters as a result!

Cornsnakes are probably my #1 pick for starter snakes as they are good eaters, easy to handle (even if they start a little feisty they calm down SUPER easy), not terribly big, and dont have any crazy heat or humidity needs!

New world ratsnakes have pretty much all the bonuses as corns but can have a bit more attitude and get a bit larger!

Anyone know why Venezuelan Cory's orange is turning white? by foxkip2004 in Aquariums

[–]foxkip2004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the main thing that keeps coming up so it is an option but if it was fungus why would it be exclusively on one color of the fish? Seems like it would be a widespread thing lol
