Hi! My name is Sarah, I am coming to you today from Pet Land in Pembroke Pines, Florida and on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am going to speak with you a little bit about choosing a pet snake. Another snake that makes a relatively good pet are corn snakes and rat snakes like the one you see here. They stay to a relatively small size, which means that you can feed them smaller prey items throughout their whole lives, so you do not have to worry about ever feeding large rats or rabbits. If you continue handling them they do stay very well socialized very handelable unlike some of the larger snakes which can get very aggressive once they reach their adult size.
