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 have a corn snake. We actually got the corn snake because it has a very good temper and corn snakes are less likley to bite. It hasn't bitten anyone. It probably will grow over 2 feet but then again, most snakes will. It's very easy to take care of but you have to make sure that you're holding it a lot. If you don't hold a snake, that's when they get mean. We tried feeding my snake small fish and it just wouldn't eat them, it only eats mice. But, all snakes are different. I would highly recommend a corn snake though. Oh and an albino corn snake is one of the cutest snakes I've ever seen. It's actually a pink color! Hope I helped and let me know what you decide. :]
