Corn Snakes
Elite Procurement Fee: $100
If your child isn't a lizard fan, then consider a corn snake. This slithering option is docile, easy to handle, comes in a few color options, is quiet and clean, and doesn't even require much in the way of daily attention, feeding, or even lighting. Corn snakes need secure housing to prevent them from escaping, but similar to a leopard gecko, a heat light is really the only other special thing this reptile needs. Adult corn snakes only need to be fed once a week or so, but you and your child will need to be comfortable feeding your pet pre-killed mice that are stored in the freezer.
