    desert snakes?

    I've been looking at getting another snake to add to the two I have now.. that would be a ball python and a corn snake. I've been thinking of a desert snake type deal, I just was wondering what the good ones are, if any and the care, easy, medium, hard. I'm just getting ideas before I just jump right in.. any help would be helpful.

    Desert

    Well I'm pretty sure there are a lot of different types of kingsnakes in the desert. Take a look at the desert king. King snakes are usually good begining snakes so there probably easy to take care of for someone who already has two snakes.

    You might look into a Rosy Boa, also.

    Rosy boas are awesome snakes. i have one and i love him. one thing that may drive you nutty is that some of them like to go off food for the winter. mine has done so for the past two years that i've had him. the first time it drove me nuts because i wasn't expecting it now it doesn't freak me out so much when he decides to not eat for six months. they don't like alot of humidity though but they come in some very beautiful colors. they don't get very big either, 3 1/2-4 feet at most. pretty docile too. mine will just hang out with me for hours at a time. i have two corns as well and my rosy is no where near as wiggly as the corns.

    Shovel nose snakes are cool.
