Absolutely not. Green tree pythons may look majestic and pretty but they are fairly very expensive and their equipment is very expensive too(and to care for them is quite difficult). I would recommend a tree Python for at least a 4th or 5th snake (and maybe even a 3rd) but not for a 2nd or a begginer snake.

∙ 6y agoPythons in general are not good for pets. They grow very large and can become very dangerous. This is one reason people eventually get rid of them. The Florida swamps are full of pythons that people have let go and now they are causing problems. I would suggest a lizard instead if you want a reptile.

How do you think pythons got to Florida?
Pythons got into Florida because people had kept pythons as exotic pets, but as they grew bigger, people realized that they didn't want their pythons anymore because they got too big to live in their house, so the people in Florida who had pythons released them into the wild. Because there were numerous people who had pythons as exotic pets, and then released them in the Everglades into the wild, there were eventually enough pythons that they could successfully reproduce and live in the Florida Everglades.

It depends on what you think is fun. You cannot take a snake out and "play" with it, they are not like that. You can hold them, but not more than once or twice a day or they will get stressed.
