Looking for suggestions

I want to get a different species of snake other than ball python. Are there any species you recommend?

I haven't had any experience with them yet but I'd love to get a green tree python

What's your budget? There's a lot to choose from.

Also what are your requirements? Looking for something wiggly, or chill? What do you want to feed it? How much space do you want to use? Do you want something to look at or play with? How big/small of an animal are you comfortable with?

All of this, and...
- Do you want a breeding pair or just pet/display animals?
- Do you want to keep it in a tank or a reptile enclosure?
- Do you want something which is easy to keep, or do you want a critter with strict husbandry requirements?
- What is your budget for critter + caging?

Well since it would be in the same room as the ball pythons possibly something with similar husbandry. Budget for snake and housing is about $800. I'd prefer a species that handles well.

without knowing your expectations for your next snake I would suggest a black mamba, king cobra or a wandering garter. can't go wrong with any of those.:P

Definitely a Retic!

I've been smitten by carpet pythons lately. They're gorgeous display animals. They're semi-arboreal, modestly sized, great feeders, and the husbandry is very similar to your BPs. There's lots of variety too. Jungles, Coastals, IJs, Bredli. A very rewarding species to keep imo.
