Question
My son is 10 years old and wants a pet snake very much.  Which type of snake would make the best pet?

Answer
Hi Tonya.

without doubt the best snake to keep as a first time owner is a corn snake. they are friendly, dont grow too big (about 4-5ft), arent expensive to keep, look good, and are very hardy animals so small mistakes in their care if corrected wont harm them in the long term.

so there you go :) if you would like to know about their specific care or anything else feel free to ask me or pop into your local pet shop who should be able to answer your questions.

thanks,

Andy
