    Re: hmm....

    Because BPs have a tendency to stress out fairly easily (especially when they are "on display") and because it is rather challenging to maintain an ideal, consistent BP environment in a glass tank, I'm gonna vote "RTB." And when he outgrows it, your leo should be more mature and hopefully less shy and he can move into it.

    I voted leo! Ball pythons aren't really display snakes, they're in their hides all day, so you're just displaying your decorations.

    Re: hmm....

    i voted the leo... we had two leos in a 33 gallon and it was great. they often came out to eat their silkworms and to bask under their red heat lamp

    Re: hmm....

    my leo almost never comes out, unless he is thirsty/hungry. I want to get him a friend, but he is a male, and i've heard never to keep to males together. And i don't want to go out and get 2 females for a cage, because, then i would probably have to get rid of my male (rule in my house, one animal comes in, one animal leaves.).

    i'm gonna agree with judy. display the boa until he outgrows it and then display the leo. the leo hasn't been with you much at all so it's normal for him to still be feeling shy. once it is time for him to be on display he will probably be more active and settled.
