I want to get a pet snake, but I want a small one.?

Pueblan Milk snake, King snake, Corn snake all stay relatively small. Male ball pythons as well but they are thicker than the others. But these all get over 2 ft. The Pueblan milk stay relatively small most getting between 2.5-3ft.

Fangs are not removed.

There are several reputable breeders depending on the species of snake you choose. You should research anyone you plan to get a snake from beforehand.

Tank size will depend on the species as well.

Some snakes are "social" but not with other snakes. By social I mean tolerant of handling. No reptile actually like to be handled but they learn to live with it.

Males do tend to be smaller.

I would suggest having a professional sex the snake with a probe or some "pop" them to determine the sex.

I handle my snakes pretty regularly unless they are shedding or before and after feeding.

I only have ball pythons and mine are on rat pups and medium rats depending on which one I am feeding.

I only feed frozen I can't handle the live feeding but if my snake 100% refused frozen I would suck it up and feed live.
