Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Buying my first snake today...question
My local pet shop has a baby/juvie Childrens Python and plenty of Ball Pythons.. these two snakes appeal to me most but I want to make sure i get a snake that fits my wants/skill level best.
I will admit I don't want to get bit but I understand any snake can bite. So I want to make sure to get a species that tolerates handling well and will be easily tamed and generally not bitey.
any suggestions? I know corns are a good option.. but looks-wise they aren't as appealing to me as bp's and childrens pythons.

I would go with childrens pythons! They stay small, are not picky eaters (like balls can be) and are easily tameable pets.

hadenglock,
thanks for the advice.. i'm sort of leaning towards the childrens since i've heard they are good first time snakes, and you don't see them as much. I went to repticon over the weekend and didnt see any!

Ball pythons are the more docile of the two. Ball pythons have way more looks to choose from.
The local pet shop isn't a petco or anything is it? I only ask because you should support local hobbyist if you can find which ever you decide.
If it's a mom and pop shop that's a bit different.
Sorry for going off topic, just a thought.

The local pet shop is a mom n pop shop. I'd rather support the local hobbyist/mom n' pops shops than big corps like petco/petsmart.
yea, thats a big plus i see about ball pythons, is the colors. I didnt know ball pythons were more docile.
the only downside i see from childrens pythons, is from what i google searched.. they seem to dull out in color as adults.

 Mom and pop is cool too.
Children's are not as docile but better feeders in most cases.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
