    Getting a new giant
    Greetings all!
    long time since i posted here, feels good to be back, i used to have a burm before it was 3.7 feet when i got it, then i had to give it to someone it was 6.8 when i let it go, so anyway i'm looking forward to get a new snake that i will keep and be responsible for, i need opinions to make decision about this, i have a 6.5 long cage, width 2.6 that i will keep the snake in, i want a snake that grows big, my old snakes were (BP,burm), now i need to make a decision i want a giant calm snake in general , so here is my list:
    1-Burmese python
    2-Red tail Boa
    3-Reticulated python
    4-Anaconda
    sorry for my bad english
    let me know your opinion on what should i get?:rolleyes:

    why did you get rid of your burm in the first place?

    Burmese tend to be a bit more laid back.

    I find Red Tail Boas to be a bit more energetic and curious. They are just big enough to make you feel a little out of control but not so big that it could be an issue to handle.

    I have only handled reticulated pythons but from what I have seen and heard from owners, they are a more energetic, curious snake. Never heard any issues with aggression. Just make sure years down the line, that you can take care of the longest snake species in the world

    Never owned an anaconda but I have been told they are incredibly messy and require more maintenance than most snakes. I can see it due to how heavy they get, and they need a pool of water to soak in at all times.
