New reptile lover

[DiansBo213]

Hello there!

I recently found myself to have a growing passion for reptiles and most especially the squamata order ones.
I am heavily considering adopting one and stumble upon the choice of "What is the best squamata reptile to start with?".

I am probably going to decide base on some information i am collecting and receiving... from you

I live around Barcelona, if you have some tips about a recommended reptile store or a special species available in the area, feel free leave some words to comment.
I am 28yo and have just moved in Barcelona for work so i have plenty of time during the week or in the week-end to take care of these animals.

Dians,

Welcome to the world of reptiles. Do you have any sense of whether you want something with or without legs? I have no idea what's available in Barcelona, but there must be a local herpetological society that can give you some guidelines.

Hello Aliza,

I think i want to have a serpent so i might start with a pantherophys guttatus.
I guess they are the most easy to care and are really good looking.
Do you think that i should know something in particular if i were to select this species?

I found a shop that sells some so they can help me to get the rodents (live and freezed).

Thank for you reply, sorry if i reply late, i am not use to forum.

Google "pantherophys guttatus care" and read some care sheets. I know nothing about serpents. Some of the care sheets may have contradictory information, so ask the pet shop about what they do.

Corn snakes are an excellent choice for the first time herp keeper.
