I've had a ball python for about 2 years now. I've resisted the temptation to get another snake long enough. I want something a bit bigger, but I not quite as big as red tail. I'm thinking something that gets a max of 6-7 feet in length. I think maybe there are a few types of boas that would fit the bill.

I'm looking for something that is easy to feed and not picky like a BP, and temperament is important, I have young kids that like to hold and pet the BP and would want a boa that will tolerate people well. Complicated husbandry, I'm fine with that, I know some need high humidity, etc.

Any suggestions or advice is welcome.
