whats the smallest and tamest snake? and awake in the day?

Answer 1

There are many "small" snakes out there ranging from the little Brahminy blindsnake (6 to 7 inches), but hard to keep.

As for snakes active during the day, yes the "ball" or Royal python is relatively small, is also "tame" (though I don't like using that word, as afterall, snakes are more tolerant, than tame. But they can also be somewhat difficult to feed.

To make an assumption that you may be looking to purchase one (?), from experience, if you want a nice looking snake, small, easy to feed and loves to be handled, I would recommend a Milksnake (Latin Name: Lampropeltis triangulum.) Some only grow to 2 feet, but some can top 6 feet in length.

You could also think about the Common Garter Snake. These are ideal for beginners. Even though these snakes live on frogs, fish etc, they can be "converted" to take baby mice if you buy the snake from a very young age. I personally have had no problems with ANY garter snake feeding on mice. If you did have difficulties, reptile shops have products that can change the odour from actual mouse to fish (by applying this fluid from the bottle onto the mouse.)

I could suggest some other snakes, but there is only so much room, and I don't want this to be boring to read. Anyway, borrow some library books to see what you like the look of, visit some pet shops (that sell reptiles) so you can see what they look like, and don't wade in too deep to start with. Hope this has been of some use to you, and you haven't lost the will to live...

Answer 2

Corn, Garter and Rat Snakes are reasonably sized snakes and with decent temperament. Royal pythons are 'small' lengthwise (about 4-5 ft) but are quite chunky. Don't know about awake during the day, read up on them. Mine usually going to bed as i go to work.

Answer 3

There is no such thing. Snakes are wild animals and can be trained, but don't expect affection.

Get a good look at the teeth pythons have before you buy one.

Just because you like snakes and think they look cool does not mean that they are safe pets.

Answer 4

i be responsive to this sounds unusual, yet rats are incredible for infants, and extremely trainable. i don't advise turtles as they convey salmonella. some form of tortoise could be greater constructive. you in addition to could have the alternative of geckos and small lizards. reckoning on the breed a small canines or in line with probability a great canines could be an selection, basically bear in recommendations that doggies advance up and are alot of paintings. Birds are actually not the final for small teenagers through fact the are very gentle. relies upon on the youngsters. be optimistic to permit your infants be around the animal some till now you opt for it. Skunks are particularly neat and so are ferrets. they are the two very energetic and playful and choose practise or will make a multitude if not caged. Animals are alot of paintings and duty. basically determine you be responsive to how lots dedication is in touch and you're waiting for in spite of animal you're taking in.

Answer 5

I'm not sure about small, but king snakes are of the most common "first time snakes". I had a king snake, she was always calm and didn't bite anyone. Kingsnakes are great first snakes. They are pretty low maintenence to. King snakes are not very small reely, but usually smaller snakes are to active, and hard to hold.

Answer 6

You should look at NOT getting a snake if you expect all those things.

Answer 7

It depends on the temperment of the snake - each one is different. I would suggest buying a frog instead. do your research first though.

Answer 8

get a garter i had one except it escaped feed it gold fish 2-5 a day with lesser meal worms since they hide a lot or freeze feed them and a baby rat/mouse will satisfy them for 2-5 days

Answer 9
