buy a heat rock from a pet store. use a 10 gallon aquarium to keep him in. make a lid that fits tight. put a floor of artificial turf then cover it with some wood shavings- they make special ones for reptiles. don't use pine/cedar, they're bad for the snake. a small water bowl. something decent size to to hide under and in. you're set.

yeah ok, well thats good and all for a generic snake, but what about a corn snake? should i get some corn/maize for its ecosystem? would it be ok for me to wear him around my wrist?
no offense but you seem way out of your league here, i was hoping for input from sys

corn snakes are really, really easy. a great starter snake. they can handle a lot of different care regimes, so a lot depends on your goals (naturalistic cage, easiest/least time to clean, docile pet, breed, etc).
the basics are to let it get to about 80 during the days with cooler nights. it's fine to be warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, fresh water, dead domestic mice (much easier to overfeed than underfeed). give it somewhere to hide. ideally have a mostly dry cage with a more humid refugium.
don't use a hotrock, they suck. don't use cedar, pine is ok, aspen or "softwood" is better.
do you already have one or are you looking to acquire?
-
how about a rough ridin' king cobra sys?

also getting about 50 death adders. just keep them in the sock drawer or whatever?

Really there's only one place to keep that many death adders andd that's in some sort of dungeon, preferably one that is accessed via trap door. You got someone in your house giving you static? Boom, trapdoor!

Which type of snake would be more prone to getting mad at me if I were to give him some lip? Are some snakes more defensive than others and insecure with the snakeness? I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I can be a smartass in a dry wit type of way, but I don't really mean anything by it. I don't want my snake pet getting the wrong impression if I make fun of it to my buddies.
Pissclams, is it dumb to name your snake? Something like Johnny or Jason?

why would you want to pick apart my life like this in front of other people? This is bushleague stuff, something a snake in the grass would do. Might as well stitch a Briggs logo on your lapel and go sell some jeeps you jerk.
My original point was, are snakes as a whole, defensive in nature? I bet the albino ones are. Crazy unstable fuckers.

Lots of good advice in here for dealing with cantankerous snakes in your back yard
You don't need to kill snakes.
The thing to remember is that it's silly to try to kill snakes.
Snakes are unjustly persecuted enough as it is...because ignorant people insist upon killing them.
The ironic thing about killing snakes is that most snake bites occur during the act of trying to kill the snake!
If you are worried about a snake, just leave it alone!
Killing snakes is generally a bad idea.

realized i didn't address the 2nd part of chingon's query.
good - easy, lots of mutant colors and patterns to choose from, convenient size, legal in most areas.
bad - starter snake, won't impress snake elites.
lampropeltis and pituophis are just about as easy, eurasian rat snakes too, but imo, they're usually assholes. most snakes of tropical origin are a little more fussy about enviro conditions, some of the australians not quite as much. some of the less commons, like lichanura/charina, sand boas & heterodon can also be easy, but most less-popular snakes are a little harder or require more specialized care at some life stage.

It's actually been found that humans are programmed to hate snakes. When the human race was starting to form, snakes were deadly, so it just got into the early human's brains to hate snakes. It's just like how some animals have instincts that tell them to not eat certain foods, stay away from some kinds of animals, etc. Some people these days either are not born with it or get over it, so that's why some people love snakes.
I don't know the reason for this. A lot of people think snakes are slimy to touch, but in fact they're very soft. I read somewhere that the general population has some sort of dislike/fear/repulsion towards any living creature that has more than 6 legs or no legs at all. I don't mind so much snakes but don't approach me with a centipede, please.
I hope this helps!

why would i have mongooses? (mongeese?)??? do they kill gophers? because, man, this gopher pisses me off. Just like KSU Celeb Bill Murray when he tried to kill the gopher in Caddyshack.
i prefer a snake that will kill the gopher, and then gtfo of my property.

if you utilize the anaconda you will need to flood your back yard so this is also something to consider
-
I believe another name for the bull snake is "Gopher Snake" I assume they might eat gophers. :ck: But then again they are called bull snakes and don't eat bulls so :ck:.
I would just go the SD's anaconda idea. Flood your yard, after he gets rid of your gopher problem let the water go away and then the anaconda should move out, problem solved.
-
If you pick up a garter snake it will try to poop on you. So, don't pick one up.
source: I'm an amateur snake expert
-
i've got to assume that flooding my backyard would get rid of my gopher problem, and i wouldn't have to worry about dealing with an anaconda.
never mind, bros, never mind. i'm just gonna skip the step where i buy an anaconda and just flood this bitch like it is ames.

follow the snake until it comes to a river. it will set the soul on the bank as it crosses and you can run down and take it back.

wow, i mean, wow. i just relistened to it six times and she clearly says bird (full stop). not birdsnake at all. besides, it's obviously winter in the vid, so even if she said birdsnake, you'd know she was wrong because all of the birdsnakes would be underground.
how is an underground birdsnake going to frighten a horse? lmao, man oh man, lol.

Look everyone, self proclaimed snake expert sys didn't know that birdsnakes often come above ground to bask as needed even during the winter months. Birdsnakes are a common sight basking on rocks or horse trails on sunny winter days. Maybe sys thought snakes hibernate like Grizzly Bears? Dunno.
