    Re: Next snake down the road?

    Well, if for some reason you don't want to get a BP, I've got a Cape Gopher Snake that is fabulous. His coloration is amazing with bright oranges, reds, browns and blacks. He's only about 4' long and about as girthy as a magic marker and is as sweet as can be. He was flighty and a bit hissy as a baby, but has not hissed or gotten defensive at all since about a month after we brought him home. He likes to move around and explore when we have him out, but he never seems to be trying to "escape" our hands. I just love the little guy!!

    EDIT: And he does very well with minimal husbandry adjustments. Humidity is not an issue with him and he favors temps in the mid-upper 70's.

    Re: Next snake down the road?

    how about a leucistic rat snake? They are inexpensive, and really cool snakes. A pure white snake with gray/blue eyes. i have two of these guys i'm trying to breed.....i handle them all the time, they're great eaters, and very hardy and easy care. I love em'! For a closeup pic, check out my gallery.
