Top 4 Pet Snakes for Beginners

Pet snakes are the first choice of many reptile pet lovers. Snakes are attracted to people that other animals do not have. This is the main reason for pet snake lovers to raise them. Many beginners also want to raise pet snakes, and would like to know what kinds of pet snakes are suitable for them. Let me tell you: four kinds of snakes suitable for beginners raising.

1. Corn snake

Corn snakes are one of the best pet snakes for beginners. Corn snakes are native to the United States, including Alabama, parts of Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, southern Tennessee, and Eastern Louisiana. Corn snakes live in areas such as forests, grasslands and farmland. They mostly live on the surface, but they can climb trees.

Corn snakes are generally active during the day and night, but are only active at night in summer. They are easy to raise and do not need high requirements for the environment. They can be raised as long as there is a place to live. The mice they eat are also easy to buy in the market, and the mice can also be raised by ourselves. Corn snakes have different colors, and various variants have also been cultivated. They are particularly beautiful. The corn snakes are slender with back colors ranging from yellow, orange, reddish-brown, brown or gray, with black, orange, and orange on the top. White or black markings on the abdomen, some resemble piano keys, some resemble checkered patterns, and are non-toxic and can be played with. The price range is very large, ranging from a small hundred to over a thousand. It depends on the genes and appearance. Raising corn snakes is all about genes. If you are lucky enough to enter the area, it will definitely open the door to a new world for you.

2. Black kingsnake

The black kingsnake is also one of the three major pet snakes raised in the world. It is easy to keep and not a picky eater. They are also the nemesis of poisonous snakes, and they especially like to eat poisonous snakes. The black kingsnake is a big family with a large number of different species and subspecies of snakes. They come from different origins. Black kingsnakes are naturally energetic and have a good appetite, but they won't hesitate to swallow when they encounter their own kind. Although the black kingsnake is slightly more aggressive, it can be as tame as the corn snake as long as t keep interacting with it regularly. Its price is similar to that of a corn snake, and it is characterized by being easy to raise, especially suitable for beginners raising.

3. Milk snake

The milk snake is also one of the three major pet snakes. It is a pet snake that is allowed to be raised and traded. It is completely artificially bred and raised. The milk snake is brightly colored, which is facilitated by three colors of black, white and red. Milk snakes get their name from the magical, legend has it that they milk their own cows to drink. However, the legends are basically copycats, and it is likely that they are just hiding in cool such as barns. Milk snakes have a mild personality, many subspecies, eye-catching body color, relatively small size, and low aggression. They mainly feed on small rodents, but will also eat other snakes. The price is similar to the above two pet snakes (maybe a bit higher), it is an easy pet snake to keep, and there is no problem with beginner feeding.

4. Hognose snake

Hognose is a popular pet snake raised and it has become more and more popular in recent years. The upturned nose tip of the hognose snake is very individual (like a cute little pig), which makes them very good at digging. They can be hilarious when threatened, like to bluff - inflating their bodies flat and hissing, and if the cobra-mimicking strategy doesn't work, they'll turn their stomachs and try to play dead, while possibly producing a musky scent.

They will play dead and act cute, which is a "skill" that other snakes don't have. Captive-bred individuals have weak defense mechanisms and hardly attack their owners. The problem is that the seedlings are too small. Due to the popularity of many reptile pet lovers in recent years, the price is high. At least a few hundred dollars a piece.
