i really want a snake. i love love love animals.

what kind of snake is best for me and if you have tips that would be great.

im going to wait like a month or two to make sure i really want it so i won't buy one and like not want it a month later. but what kind should i get.

i want one that ....
-doesn't get very big. preferably under two feet. and will stay that way.
-has a good temperament (doesn't bite & friendly)
-semi-easy to take care of.
-i won't have to feed mice. something i can feed worms/guppies/small fish/or bugs.

please only answer if you have had snake experiences (IE. you have/had one/friend has one/work at a pet store, etc.)

thank you =)

I always wanted a snake, too, but I never got one because I couldn't bare to feed it mice. And everyone told me that ALL snakes have to eat mice eventually. But then I found a snake at the pet store called a Green Snake, and they told me he would be okay will only eating crickets. I've had him a year now, fed only crickets, and he's fine. He will only get about 2 feet long. And he's super cute! The only drawback to Green Snakes is that they're really fast and not very easily tamed. So you have to patient with them, because they're not really calm and docile like corn snakes, boas, etc. Mine has finally gotten used to being held, but it took a while. Oh, and if you get one of these, be sure to give him lots of branches and things to climb on, because in the wild they live in trees.
