    Next reptile?
    I'm going to the White Plain's Reptile Show next week and am debating on what to get. I have 2 BP's right now and a bearded dragon. I don't have room for another lizard unfortunately. Whats a good snake thats like BP's/Corns/Milks/Kings that stays roughly the same size and can be housed in the same rack? I was thinking something thats not really common like corns and bp's...
    Ideas? I like bloods, I just feel like they need a bigger rack system than what I plan on getting for my BP's, and never seen one in person so I have no idea about size.

    Too bad you didn't have more room. I would vote boa if room wasn't an issue. Hognose sounds good though. :)

    I've heard hog noses have an Attitude issue? I like laid back snakes and the non bitey type

    I don't think think have any more of an attitude than balls as far as it depends on the snake. They are more of a drama queen breed than bps (They hiss, hood, and play dead) but I wouldn't think of them in the bitey category.

    If you're looking for some solid hands-on info about hoggies I would send TJ_Burton a pm on here. He's a good source for brain pickin' :)

    I'd love to have a hognose..they are pretty awesome, unique little snakes. Boas are very tame and beautiful, they would be a good choice if space wasn't an issue. I've heard milks are on the squirmier side. I personally really like cornsnakes second to B.Ps (being an owner of five corns myself) and they come in a big variety of morphs!

    Maybe look at rough-scaled sand boas...

    Throwing my vote in for Hognose as well. You can get Albinos for under 200 right now from the right breeders. You can get anaconda phase for around 500 if you want to put more into it, or a normal for as low as $50. They are VERY well tempered. Don't care who says anything different they are wrong. Hognose first defense is to huff and puff and then comes playing dead. Biting is almost never an option. The only time you can expect to get a possible bite, is if they want food and you go to pick them up, but their bite is so slow you can drink a coke then move your finger before anything happens :gj: More info here: http://reptileexperts.com/Heterodon.htm

    Good luck!
