Should i get a strawberry hermit crab or a ball python?

I cant decide, which do you think would be more fun?

A ball python, at least they're more interesting than a hermit crab!
Reply:I haven't had a python, but I have had 7 hermit crabs at the same time. Hermit crabs are not cuddly or really a pet you can play with at all. They tend to bury up under the sand and some times you may not see them for months! When they are out and about it is at night and they are super slow. They do require a lot of knowledge in order to keep their environment optimal, so if you decide to get one do your homework BEFORE you bring them home. "Fun" is not the word I think of when thinking about a hermit crab, now they are interesting to watch and once you get to know them you do see that they each have their own unique personalities. I have 3 kids and they think the crabs are boring, if that tells you anything. If you are looking for something active and something you want to hold and bond with...I would think a snake would be the better choice.
Reply:Well the thing is what type of pets do you like a hands on pet would prob be a python(don't touch to much)but if you cant stand there and watch it eat live or frozen mice then go with the hermit crab.

the best thing to do is to look up some care sheets and see witch one meets your needs for a pet.

A good website for care sheets is repticzone.com
Reply:hermit crabs are very hard to take care of if u dont know wat u r doing. i dont like snakes too much so id go with another choice. maybe a sub saharan spur thighed tortoise. those are very similar to galapagos tortioses. they are really cool. like $120 at most pet stores.
