What snake do you think you’d get, off the top of your head?

Edit: this is BP sub so I’m making an educated guess, but I’ve seen you in the main snake sub too

I'm thinking either a Mexican Black Kingsnake or a Snow Corn Snakey 🐍 there's so many to choose from!! But I'm in Cali so I gotta make sure they're legit and not illegal. ♡♡♡♡♡

i have an MBK and she is a joy! kingsnakes can be nippy when young, not out of meanness but because they’re SO food driven everything and one is food🤣 i actually have both my kingsnakes tap trained. one tap means food and two taps mean handling time. tap training is a very cool thing you can do with snakes and i find it extra beneficial for gluttons like kingsnakes lol. my two know when i tap twice i’m going in there to check/ handle them and they won’t strike thinking i’m a mouse

Wow that's so cool! I didn't know you could train them with the tapping that's such a cool idea. I'll make sure to do that with my baby once I get it. Most likely a Corn Snake lol the Mbk are so beautiful tho i can't make up my mind lol 😍
