The ball python will be easy for you to take care of, and are very docile. I used to have one, and it was one of the best pets I have own.

thats what i was leaning tward cause it only gets bout 5-6 ft long and the red tail boa can get up to 12 ft long if you power feed it and that wouldnt be cool considering it could eat my dog and would need a monster cage.

Get the one you like the most?

Ive cared for reptiles 12+years id consult with the shop owner or better yet a reptile forum because a lot of those shop owners dont know shit. But ask which is the easiest to tame. Cause some reptiles are stubborn and really hard to tame.

i went there today and they let me hold one of the ball pythons and it was just chilling in my hand for like 10 minutes and never moved and ive been researching all of them and the ball seems the easiest to deal with.

the bal python is very easily tamed, the boa is alittle harder, they are alittle more stuborn imo, can't really say much for the other 2 though, I haven't fooled with them.

im getting one of those iguanas to its like 15$ for one bout 8" long and as big as those things get i dont think my little dog will screw with it.

yea snakes are usually a lot more chill than lizards.. I swear iguanas are one of the hardest animals to tame. But once theyre tame they are the shit

this is just my opinion you dont have to take it but unless youve been caring for reptiles for several years and have owned many other lizards i would not get an iguana and iguana is for the Advanced herp carer

May i ask if you have owned any other lizards?

iguanas are usually b1tches unless you spend alot of time with them, getting whipped by their sux teh balls and hurts like a mofo

I would go with the Ball Python, like everyone says they are easier to deal with. The Boa is the 2nd choice. The King snake and Corn snakes are way hard to tame, they tend to be more aggressive. I have dealt with all four snakes back in high school when I worked at a pet store. The pythons were the most selling snakes.
