hello everyone, my names Daniel, im 22 from washington state. i have yet to purchase a snake but im almost at that point but just can't decide what i would like to get just yet. i have also had limited luck finding places in washington to get an idea of what my local selection is (suggestions would be greatly aprishiated) so far its petco, some have almost no snakes others have kings, milks, pythons, and corns. I'm here mainly to get some experience based answers from snake owners. i find that to be the best advice, and learning from others with personal experience sometimes counters the speal im told at the pet store by the sales person. im currently keeping a three fish tanks one 125gallon tank with two oscars and a firemouth, and two 29gallon tanks one with african cichlids and the other a planted rainbow tank. pretty much a fish nut. now thats spilling in to snakes so i know i wont end up with just one. the hurdle at the moment thats preventing me from purchasing a snake is tank size being a fish keeper i want to go very large with a large footprint so i can get more fish into it if i dont do well with snakes. for my taste its hightanks for better viewing and while sitting and wide tanks that provide better surface air contact allowing more carrying capacity. .....sorry a bit of topic there. any way petco has a nelsons milk snake thats really attractive and a albino banded kingsnake thats neat as well. i like look of the anerythristic corn snakes but havnt seen any pictures of them as adults i have read that their colors may change in to a browner snake when adults. i also like the motley pattern but havent seen a combo of those traits at the petstore or and adult image online. is a hurricane and motley corn snake the same thing? what kind of color change could be expected for a small corn thats anerythristic and has a motley pattern when it becomes mature?
