Best Pet Snakes for Beginners!

[@yeboi629]

your ball python is called monty... Monty python I'm yelling that's so clever

[@tiaslays255]

Elise Garcon lmfao yasss

[@1Fresh_Water]

I know so many people who've got pythons named monty, it's one of the most common names I think

[@Nova7l7]

I got a boa named 'monty'. Ironic huh

[@conormccarthy5908]

Petsmart is a bad place to get pets but in my local petsmart I know the manager and he actually breeds snakes so their section with snakes is usually well kept and they usually have pretty healthy ball pythons and cornsnakes so I would buy one from their but other than that I wouldn't go to petco or petsmart.

[@pxrisxiv]

McCarthy Reptiles I'd buy one personally from that manger then going into the store tbh, it would be cheaper since he wouldn't need to make profit.

[@conormccarthy5908]

Faynts well yeah that's what I would do I'm just saying if a kid needs a snake they wouldn't have to worry about getting one at this petsmart.

[@anonymouskirk7271]

Edelman and Brady that's cool

[@jerz40cal]

Edelman and Brady well whoopty doo for you poopie pants that doesn't help the rest of us!

[@SilentGlaceon94]

In my area, my old biology teacher from high school used to run a pet store that had snakes until he passed away. Honestly, I still don't know how he died, and it sucks that he's gone because he's pretty good with the animals that he has.

[@thelionsroar6070]

I've got a cali kingsnake, I've had him for 7 years, and he's my baby. Perfect for a first pet. He's only bitten me twice in the entire time I've had him, he doesn't even have teeth!

[@chrisofstars]

He doesn't have teeth?? Why is that?

[@kimberlylinton4520]

Hey! Do you think your snake recognizes you? I've googled it and it says they don't but if someone is holding my BP and I'm near them, she will start sticking her tongue out more and will start to climb out of their hands towards me

[@matthewmiranda6640]

Actually yes! It has been proven snakes do recognize their owners and often associate them with feeling safe or familiar (do to smell, look, or other means)!

[@Dyenney]

Snake can recognize your scent :)

[@daltonperkins7610]

If they can know the difference between you and another person by scent then would they think you are a stranger if u like just get done working out or put cologne on?

[@daltonperkins7610]

iTZMOZ ok thank you. I always wondered that👍

[@sofieallen3723]

Marvel Geeker I think they do

[@gracier1123]

I want a snake so bad but my dad hates snakes

[@littleferret2]

Kenyan Sand Boa, they are a burrowing snake and spend most of their time hiding in their substrate. He'll never have to see it, plus males don't grow past 20 inches.

[@jeremiahdelacruz7005]

Gracie R. my dad doesn't like them either but he just has to deal with mine 😂😂😂. its a good thing my mom likes snakes

[@pompkons2809]

same

[@breadtaker1128]

Same.

[@spdrbyte6823]

Same :(

[@smjones9406]

Rosy boas are always left out of the picture :c They're pretty docile as well and one of the smallest pet snakes to own. Tend to only get 3ft long and aren't slow, but aren't fast either. They can chill with you, but also be curious and like to move around as well (:

[@rqinytears5459]

SM Jones i know!! they're one of the snakes i've ever touched and they're so cutee

[@brookev565]

Don’t they musk though?

[@DarcBloom]

IHaveAGoodName I believe all snakes do to some degree, but feel free to correct me on that. However, it's usually only as a self defense mechanism. So if you're not antagonizing it, it should be fine.

[@DarcBloom]

Ashley Taylor The temperament of an animal usually plays a direct factor in how bitey an animal is. So if someone uses words like, docile, chill, etc, usually not. Animals that are more territorial, aggressive, and moody, might. As a rule snakes can be a little moody if they're in the process of shedding, even if they're otherwise docile. BUT, you can tell that they are, because of their eye color; if it's more of a light blue, grey, or otherwise cloudy, that's a protective layer they build on their eyes to protect them from being irritated during shed. So if the color is more dull than normal, that's a good sign. Just respect their space during that time and it'll be all right. Some can be moody if they're in heat, too, but snakes usually have pretty clear body language, and will usually resort to other things as a warning, before biting. Like, false-strikes, hissing, or simply evading you. Also, even if a snake DOES bite, as long as you stay calm and remove the teeth straight from the wound (not trying to pull it across), it won't be too bad. Most snakes, and especially constrictors such as boas, are not venomous, and the snakes that are, usually have a venom that's very mild to humans. If you hear people wigging out about bites, it's usually because of stereotypes about snakes being venomous, the venom being deadly, etc. And while that's true for some, it's not true for all, and usually not true for recommended pet breeds. That's another thing: Pet snakes are not wild snakes, and are bred in captivity, so they're generally not as hostile or dangerous as those that ARE wild. It's like... comparing a house cat to a wild tiger or leopard.

[@dannyc.2758]

Kind of a stupid question but,if you fart,does a pet snake get away from you?Or does it eventually just get used to that scent?

[@myhermitcrabsforever]

Dargin Dox 😂😂😂😂 this is amazing

[@rogergumball3026]

XD

[@DarcBloom]

Typically, animals don't make a big deal about slight changes in body odor, whether it be farting, sweating, or a bit of cologne. The part of your smell they recognize, are the base pheromones, which don't change regardless of other applications. If anything, animals seem MORE interested in sniffing a person if they just farted, perhaps because it releases some of those pheromones with it.

[@elkwolf2888]

Your face and voice make me smile. Hope that doesn't sound creepy, I legitimately had that thought so strongly when the video started that I wanted to share. Your videos are a joy to watch.

[@stephaniecordova9310]

I want a snake SO MUCH but MY parents HATE them 😥😥😥😟😩

[@cornstudios9908]

Ayye. _.steph same here...

[@Jdjdjsksndjs]

My mom wanted a python-

[@UNEARTHED36]

Monty seems very friendly and not head shy at all! Great video!

[@danybeez]

Im watching you handle your snake so well and I want to be on your level! Ive recently taken an interest in snakes and i think they would be a great addition to my pet family. Your snake is beautiful!

[@katherinevaughan8141]

Tyler: *gestures with snake* Snake: *doesn't care* Cutest snake ever ❤❤

[@wintervalentin1399]

Hey, i know i don’t have a ball python or anything, but i just watch someone who has about like seven ball pyrhons and she keeps hers in 20-ish gallons tanks and they do perfectly fine. I’ve also heard that keeping them in large tanks make them more prone to stress. But your system seems to be working, i just wanted to tell you! You have a great channel, and this is a very imformative video.

[@sofieallen3723]

I have a ball python, her name is pandora. and I was heading her head and I was wondering do you know why the sides of their head or soo squishy

[@mollykelday]

It's just muscle.

[@DarcBloom]

It's the jaw muscles they use. Typically when a snake is devouring its prey/food, their jaws unhinge at the joints, and they're mostly using the muscle in their heads and mouths to sort of inch-wiggle their way along it, until it's fully in.

[@harleyrider8924]

I definitely agree with your list, my first 2 snakes were corn snakes. Now Since then Iv gotten a king and milk snake. I definitely want to get more corn snakes and a few more milks and kings maybe a ball python of a few lol

[@toast8149]

Hey Tyler respond if you could. Which of those 3 snakes would you recommend to someone who has never owned a snake?

[@littleferret2]

ToastySniper16 Ball python, baby corns are dicks. I have a 6ft boa that's only a few years old and I'm far more comfortable with her than those nippy baby corns.

[@PrimaryOctopus]

I've heard that you shouldn't handle a snake that is close to your height in length without assistance (I'm about 5'3")- is that true for ball pythons as well, or just the more "aggressive" species?

[@rqinytears5459]

AiliSima i'm pretty sure ball pythons are fragile and decent animals and babies are always around them and look where they ended up? they're okay! except i don't own one so i can't say so i wish i had a snake tho:(

[@PrimaryOctopus]

Julie Unicorn Yeah, I think you're right. They seem pretty laid-back :) I'm just a little worried about "what if they get scared and start constricting and I can't get them off?". But I guess it would be a while before they got big enough to break my hand or something.

[@rqinytears5459]

AiliSima yeah and i don't think they'd construct you. i'm guessing we're wayyy too big for them to eat :)

[@lpsamnesia3147]

I got a boa as my first snake and he’s literally like a ball python and corn snake mix and he’s so chill

[@romator5981]

best youtuber ever keep doing what u are doing your good at it

[@theohenderson192]

I absolutely love your channel. I appreciate all the tips :) you've also inspired me. I'm gonna get a corn snake! Thanks so much keep up the good work.

[@didi_5273]

I want a ball python 😫

[@isabelledargue7682]

Did I _ I worked on it and now I’m getting one

[@lanimcabee]

Nice video but if your going to keep a snake in a large aquarium like you said they need plenty of hiding places. Snakes get extremely stressed out when they feel exposed. I breed ball pythons and burmese pythons and I typically keep my adult female ball pythons in tubs that are about the size of a 30 gallon tank but at the same time they are in a rack so they feel nice and cozy because the heat is built in and they feel like they are hidden because it stays nice and dark, but since most people don't have that kind of equipment and like to have fancy set up for your beloved pets your advice would be just fine ☺

[@versenny1458]

hey Tyler I recently got really interested in buying a snake and keeping it as a pet but I was wondering how much money do you spend a month/ year to feed your snake?

[@franky2544]

I love snakes so much. I love all your pets on this channel, especially Desmond!! Have you ever had a hedgehog? I have one who loves my rabbits

[@glitchedhacker192]

I don't want to get an animal I won't be able to handle so are the snakes you mentioned need to have a live mouse/animal? Or could I give them already dead mice? (I couldn't feed an animal an already alive one, I know that's probably weird/stupid to worry about I just don't think I could feed a living animal to another animal)

[@Zaipei]

My python is getting delivered Christmas Eve ! Literally not been this excited for a Christmas since I was about six, haha :)

[@Cat-di9lg]

Iv heard that with ball phypons it's best to upgrade the tank as they grow I really want one but only have a 10gal available right now my 40gal has my 1.2 year old hamster in it and my friend has a goldfish in a 20gal long it should die soon and I'll hopefully get that tank but I was thinking 10gal up to a year 20gal long untill my 40 breeder is available if I can get a snake it won't be for a couple of months but I'm also not sure if I'm willing to give up not being able to own a hamster so I might end up with a packman in the long run

[@mattyd6301]

Royal Python or Ball Python ( Downside they can be abit moody about feeding) Columbian Rainbow Boa ( Humidity is very IMPORTANT do research but can be a alright beginner) King Snakes Milk Snakes Corn Snakes Rat Snakes Are all good beginner snakes as long as you do your research.

[@mattyd6301]

Well none of them above are venomous..?

[@jeremiahdelacruz7005]

Matty D rainbow boa a beginner?? I would say they are intermediate

[@mattyd6301]

Well only cons about them is there humidity, size (But note size of ball pythans get large also) oh and they can be snappy as babies but it was my first snake.. Now I own a ball pythan and a rainbow boa.. Like I said research is key into any animal. I disagree with people telling inexperianced owners just to go for king snakes or milk snakes as much as all snakes are amazeing I wanted somthing more of a challenge and jump into the deep end.

[@iisadoggo2805]

Jeremiah De La Cruz I think I've heard of a rainbow boa

[@insanekim1323]

So for a BP instead of a screen top thing, what top do you recommend Because the snake still needs air ;-;(the answer is probably obvious but...i ish stupid)

[@caterinaearl2701]

Thanks so much for your videos I used to hate snakes but now I want a pet snake you helped me so much!!

[@faith9465]

What type of tank do u have? I'm trying to find a good one and I really like the one that you have.

[@Chakra_king]

My opinion is, ball pythons are fatter and to kids look "cooler" and are easy to just put somewhere and leave it for 5 minutes so it would be better for young children who don't have responsibility for a pet. However corn snakes are longer and more slender, they move quicker and are diurnal . They would be good for someone who has the responsibility of keeping a more active snake and can take them out more . I can't say the fact that corn and kings are more nippy and hard to tame is true though because that was the opposite of what happened when I had bought them as babies.

[@littleferret2]

oliver dibbs baby snakes are always a bit nippy, honestly to avoid all that it's easier to get a semi adult snake that is already past that.

[@jeremiahdelacruz7005]

oliver dibbs I wouldn't personally recommend a bp to a small kid since they do get a bit more heavier and also since they need a bit higher humidity than other beginner snakes

[@rachungus]

Liz Kull to be honest, I would rather get a hatchling. Even though they r nippy, they can get used to you handling them.

[@zelmaperez5818]

[@randomperson8353]

I have a female stinger ball (she's female) I have a 55 gal for her but a screen top. do you have any suggestions of different tops I could look into? or a way that I could keep the humidity up for her?

[@monetschlegel5386]

I'm getting a baby ball python soon (he was born in August of 2016 and is about 106 grams), and I currently have a 20 gallon tank (high, not long). How long would I be able to keep him in a 20 gallon before I'd need to size it up?

[@emilypoligerinos6024]

Hi, I've been doing some research and sadly I cannot own a Ball Python, Corn Snake or a King Snake because they're not native to my country (I live in Australia) because of this, what snakes do you recommend for beginners??? Love your video's btw :))))

[@machineofvirtue14]

Emily Poligerinos You can always get one from a breeder? Or are they just not allowed there?

[@emilypoligerinos6024]

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to own them in Australia because they're not native (something about introduced species potentially damaging ecosystems and all that jazz)

[@monikaangner7663]

I have a quick question. So I got a baby ball python, and he (I think) is only around a foot and a half long. Would I still need at least a forty gallon tank for him? I am planning on getting my snake w bigger tanks when he grows larger, but I don't know if I should already replace the one I have or wait.

[@mintgreenoor]

wait until he's older before getting a larger enclosure!

[@monikaangner7663]

Ok. Thanks!

[@4sharkbait492]

[@dabking_bambam4615]

[@IvyMPDressage]

What do you mean in their tank they need "a hide"? Do you just mean like shelter?

[@stefanieleroux7944]

Love your channel! Would you consider making a "how to take care of your snake" vid? Monty is so well adjusted, goes to show your methods are to his liking, so I would love to see how you care for him (as well as what you did on day 1 of owning him) before I go get my first puppy noodle. My parents saw your video about why snakes are good pets (because I forced them to watch it haha), and they decided to give it a chance. I've done a lot of research but a more detailed video from you would be appreciated~

[@chibi-kun2546]

I have a (very long) 20 gallon long tank, 2 hides(hot and cold) , aspen bedding, plants, and a screen top, I spray 2 times a day, heat pad (20gallon tank is because he isn't fully grown) is that okay for him?

[@elisaurous2209]

I think so. Can you please help me? How to use the heat pad? I have no idea about the.. I don't have a snake yet.. But I don't even know how the heat pad looks like. Can you give me some photos or names of good heat pads?

[@JordanChiuDarkness566]

I have a 20 gallon tank from my former pet bearded dragon who recently passed. Will that do for a ball python or corn snake? I want something really simple to take care of. I was told i needed to get a humidifier or spray the snake with water constantly is that true?

[@xv4n3554]

Jordan Chiu A 20 gallon tank can work since it is the minimum size for ball pythons and corn snakes. And yes sometimes you will have to spray the tank with water or use a humidifier if the humidity is not up between %50-%60, but usually a large water bowl helps with the humidity.

[@shinnybubbles9118]

Lol 😆😆😆😆😆

[@GingerCoreCringe]

I'm thinking of getting a pet ball python, I've had reptiles before so I know kinda the basics of keeping one. But I was wondering how hard is it to care for one? I live in northern Oregon, so it can get a bit cold (but I am aware a heating pad will keep the little dude happy) But is a male or female more peaceful? I own a pug (14 pounds, 1 yr), but I'm not gonna leave them alone in the same room, but would she be ok around one?

[@jeremiahdelacruz7005]

Ginger Core there both really docile but females do get a bit bigger and I would also recommend getting a 75 watt or higher red bulb as along with the heat pad to keep the temperature up in the winter. I do that with mine and he is completely healthy

[@itz.larnetta]

Did you pull your snake teeth or is they still there? How do you make sure it don’t try to bite or kill you?

[@sociallyawkward207]

So if you get a ball python, you need heat pads right? And where do you get those?

[@mintgreenoor]

yes, you need a heat pad! do all of your research before buying one! you can buy them from your local pet store or on amazon or online

I still got it but now it keeps trying to get out of its enclosure. You can see it using all its strength to push out. It’s not really a baby but it’s not as big as yours.

[@reganolivia9421]

ive heard that ball pythons need a 20 gallon. and you shouldn’t give them a big tank because it will stress them out. is that true? i just want to get the right information

A Ball Python is always a good choice, very docile, do not get big etc. (Yes, any snake is grumpy when shedding, the film covering the eyes blurs their vision and they might strike out of fright.) My favorite to have is the Ball.

how do you know when a snake is hungry?

[@littleferret2]

Just feed them every 5-10 days and you'll never have a problem with the snake being hungry.

[@ayvergraham2124]

thank you I wasn't sure. So when the BPs stop eating will they just leave the food there?

[@ayvergraham2124]

Horselover Bre thank you for the information I appreciate it

[@littleferret2]

DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT LAST COMMENT. That is complete misinformation. You will know if a snake is hungry based on their body language and very quick tongue flicks when food is present. NEVER EVER remove the animal from its enclosure before feedings, that's the easiest way to get your hand mistaken for food. ALWAYS use feeding tongs to present the food item to the snake. If they seem uninterested in the food they will not strike at it, and their body language will not change when food is presented. If they are not hungry then try feeding them again in 7 days. Ball Pythons are notorious for being picky eaters and it is currently breeding season for most snake species, if your BP is a male then he will remain uninterested in food for many months because he wants to breed a female. Keep him away from females if you want him to go back on food sooner. Monitor his weight weekly to make sure it stays consistent, if his weight drops significantly while he's off food take him to a vet or to your local reptile breeder and have him either assist fed or force fed (a professional will know what those terms mean and what to do.) If your snake is female then ignore all I have said about males and breeding season and continue to offer the animal food every week. Like I said before, BP's are notorious for being picky eaters, try adjusting their enclosures humidity levels, tempurature, give them more water, a hide and make sure they are being fed INSIDE their enclosure. If you are worried about being bitten when it is not feeding time and you go to pick the animal up then take the opposite end of the feeding tongs and run it against their back, if the animal acts like its hungry (body language change) then GENTLY tap the tongs against the animals head. Repeatedly doing this will teach the animal that now is not feeding time and to not strike. If the animal hisses at you when you attempt to pick it up (this is different from heavy breathing, their mouth will be open) leave the animal in it's enclosure and try handling them again the next day.
