Are king snakes good for beginners?
I am researching getting a snake, and I really like the kings, but I do not want to get a snake that I am unprepared to care for for its entire lifespan. Are kings good for beginners? I have kids, so any info about aggressivness would be appreciated also. Thanks!
Kingsnakes are not aggressive, and can make excellent pets. The only thing that may make them less of a beginners snake is how squirmy they are. As babies, the are difficult to hold because they’re constantly on the move, trying to escape, and they’re very, very fast. If you could find an adult or sub adult, you’d be better off. And your kids would be more of a threat the king snake than the other way around. Small children can very easily hurt a snake, if not closely supervised.
I would actually recommend a ball python as a first snake. My first snake was a baby corn (that’s what I’d always wanted, so that’s what my husband bought me). I couldn’t hold it if I was doing anything else at all, because it required my full attention. I really loved it, and it was easy to care for, but not that much fun to hold. It died not long after I bought it, and the breeder told me that young corns often die for no reason. He thinks there has been some sort of genetic defect bred into corns from all the morph breeding that’s been going on. Kings don’t have that problem, but they are just as squirmy. After my corn died, my husband bought me “what he should have got me to begin with!” and got me a ball python. I absolutely love her! From the time she was a baby, I could drape her around my neck and have my hands free to do whatever I wanted. I didn’t have to concentrate on holding her, because she didn’t race or squirm around like the corn. I take her everywhere with me in the summer time, including ren faires where she’s a rennie favorite. I also take to her libraries and small children get to pet her and hold her. She’s a lot harder for a small child to accidently injure than a king would be. I have a Cal King, now, that I recently purchased, and he’s a pretty cool snake. I purchased him as an adult, though, and he is still very active. I have to be careful when I hold him so that he doesn’t get away, although not as careful as you’d have to be with a baby.
In the end, it comes down to personal taste, but I’d go with the ball python if I were you. I think you’d like it a lot better. I know I do.
