The most common types of snakes that give birth to amateurs, are many and varied types of boa constrictors (boas, pythons, etc.). Environmental requirements and food supply for these types of snakes vary considerably. In addition, some of the same species (in particular, boas and pythons) reach very large sizes in captivity, and their considerable space requirements should be taken into consideration.
Typically, a person seeking to acquire a snake already having a preference in mind, or have some familiarity with it (each holds a snake of the same species, etc.) or because of an inexplicable attraction to the exterior of the type, size, activity or habits. Before you buy a snake, you should carefully consider the following recommendations:

In fact, a healthy young boa is the most suitable for keeping animals in tropical species of snakes. Other species (most of the pythons) are unpredictable and usually quite aggressive. Reticulated and Burmese pythons are particularly unpredictable when they are hungry.
