#bullsnakes
Note
Maybe a weird question but could a bull snake be a good first snake if the person getting them doesn't care/ isn't afraid that they can be grumpy/aggressive?
Like they are big so would need a bigger habitat then a corn snake, but is their care more tricky as well?
Idk I really want to watch whatever snake I get grow, but corn babies are so delicate and squirmy, while baby bulls are way bigger/thicker and seem less flighty/fast (they choose fight I guess). I don't mind that they tend to have more of an attitude, in fact as a dog trainer, I think they'd be fun to try and target train like u do your snakes.
So I was wondering if, besides temperament and size, if they have anything else, that would make them a poor choice for a first snake.
Not a weird question at all! If you're committed and the attitude and the size aren't major obstacles for you, bullsnakes can be perfectly fine first snakes.
The attitude is genuinely the most difficult thing about bullsnakes. I wouldn't call any snake aggressive, but they're definitely defensive and you can expect a lot of hissing and snapping with most babies. Most bullsnakes will tame down super well with time but you can definitely expect an attitude!
The size is also something to keep in mind - they average 4-6 feet but it is not at all uncommon for individuals to get closer to 8 feet. Males and females also tend to be pretty much the same size, so they're not like other snakes where you can pick by sex if you'd like to plan on a smaller snake. A 6-foot long enclosure is the absolute bare minimum with these snakes.
Aside from those two hurdles, though, they really couldn't be easier! They're as hardy as cornsnakes and really couldn't be easier to keep, and they tend to be excellent eaters as well. It's even possible to find babies with excellent temperaments right from the get-go if you're patient and take the time to check in with breeders about their snakes' personalities.

Born seemingly human in Arizona sometime in the mid 1800's and raised by cattleherds as a foundling, Felix Santiago Carrow never knew his true parentage. A problem child from a young age, Felix would grow up to become a notorious outlaw, racking up an extensive criminal record until his capture at age 34, which in turn lead to his execution for his crimes. Before his hanging, he swore to return from the grave, and that he'd bring Hell with him when he did. He was buried in a shallow grave, the noose still around his neck. Little to anyone's knowledge, including his own, he had vampiric blood latent in his veins, awakened by his untimely death. A month after his burial, he rose from the dead, ready to fulfill his promise...
Finally made a new ref for this old OC o' mine! He's been long overdue for one lol.
I also have an underwear version of this up on my FA account for those who are interested and over the age of 18! Nothing too scandalous but I still didn't want to risk posting to the mercy of the Tumblr flagging system.

Animal education at the museum received some new young snakes. This is Benny, a bullsnake, and he has the most saddest weepest eyes I swear.

Bullsnake is done!
(A little more yellow on the head than I intended, but it's ink and watercolor and it's on the paper and I have to take it in for work tomorrow, so I can't take it back now)

Art of an adopt I made (and sold). People really liked her vs when I made her in 2018. If people are interested, I might make more sonic-style adopts. Plus it's pretty fun.
