Hey guys, help me out!

I've got a 55 gallon fish tank that I have mounted into the wall. Its currently houseing a huge 10'' red devil cichlid and a pleco the size of your arm... well im getting sick of always having to clean up water they splash out on to the drywayll and really they both need a bigger tank anyway. Pluss im currently starting a 75 gallon salt tank so I really only need one big fish tank :p.

Seeing that i spent so much time on making the frame and drywalling the hole thing into my existing wall, i dont just want to scrap the hole thing because it looks really cool. Soooo im toying with the idea of getting a large snake to put in it. Like a red tail, or maybe just a really pretty show snake like a treeboa or python. When I say "show snake" i dont plan on handleing somthing often that requires stiches every time i get nipped... .

Money is also an issue here. Im not looking to spend $300+ on it. More in the $200 range or less is all I can really afford right now.


So heres a few snakes iv'e thought of;

1. Redtail Boa
pros; love them! cheap!!, can find large ones to addopt all the time.
cons; may outgrow the tank kind of fast, have 4 cats.... can seeing that ending bad somehow lol

2. Amazon Tree Boa
pros; arboreal so tank should be plenty big
cons; never held one, but they just look mean as sin....

3.Emerald Tree Boa
pros; alllwayys wanted one! aboreal, but tank still may not be deep enough.
cons; price and herd they have a nasty bite as well

4.Green Tree Python
pros; my buddy has a yearling and i love it. will have one one day
cons; price. well for the local i would like to get anyway

5.Carpet Python
dont think tank has enough floor space..

6..you guys chime in.. its 5am and im just really bored lol
