Hey /an/ i have the extra money laying around and would like to get a snek. Im looking to spend anything up to 200-300. i have owned snakes and other reptiles before so just about any snek will do besides the venemous or insanely big ones. I was looking at brazilian rainbow boas. What kind of snek would /an/ choose?
Also what are the most preferred sites in which you order reptiles from?
Where do you live?
I've gotten a few snakes through kingsnake.com classifieds...You can google most sellers there and find out if they're good people pretty easily.
I would make sure you have a good set up first, which honestly would probably be a good chunk of your budget.
Here is a link to the rainbow boa area on kingsnake.

I would personally suggest avoiding the big reptile sells, like big apple, and especially backwater. Try to find a breeder.
So for enclosures, I know a few of the snake people here, myself included have bought stuff from animal plastics. Mainly because they're cheap and of decent quality.

I will warn you, if you order something custom it can take months, my first order I got within a month, my second order was around 4 months. (the specific carpet python cage they sell).
They ship them disassembled, but if you have a drill driver, they're pretty painless to put together.
I hope that helps.

I wanted to get myself a pet ball python, but I was wondering if a simple set up is fine when it comes to the enclosure? Most of what I seen are these super complex cages with tons of stuff in it. But most of the "care guides" I've read from local pet stores say simple is ideal.

Simple set up works just fine. Two or three hides, sturdy water bowl, maybe a thick branch for light climbing.

Don't you need a heatlamp or something?
Not OP but I've been wanting to get a kingsnake and I'm confused as to whether I need one or not. I live in Cali and they're native to here so I'm wondering if I'd even need one, some say yes, others say no...

You will need an under tank heater, yes. Lamp is not necessary if room temp is low/mid 70's. Consult care sheets for appropriate temperature range for desired species.

I'm pretty sure that you won't have the same temperature inside your house that outside and that you won't let the animal bask under the sun as much as he wants everyday, so you'll need some sort of heat.
