    I have to agree with the Carpet choice myself. I have two now and they are both wonderful pets. One I traded my Columbian Red Tail Boa for and the other was more or less of a rescue. I admit I was a bit intimidated by them at first, but they have become very dear members of my collection and are very unique and fun to have. They hold a special place in my collection and to be honest, I find the black and yellow color combos extremely striking and attractive, but again, that's just me.

    Here is what I'm thinking of:

    Jungle Carpet python
    Borneo Short Tail python
    Boa Constrictor
    Bredli Carpet python
    Brazilian Rainbow boa

    From what I have researched, Borneos seem to be pretty simple to care for. I think their faces are so adorable, and look less serious than a Blood's face. Borneos are on my snake list, hopefully this year I can work with them.

    what about the male argentine? my local herp guys said around 6'. is that true?

    See these to quotes contradict each other either you want advice (which is an opinion) or you do not (shown by your response in the second quote), Maybe a Boa is the next step up from a BP for that poster.
    If it were me I was say a Aussie python like a Woma

    Womas are awesome pythons, I wouldn't mind having one of those either.

    Man some of you gals and guys are looking way to hard into this thread lol

    Honestly if i were you i would go with a BRB they are simply awesome looking and dont get that big. Ive never held a jungle but I have heard they can be nippy both species but i guess with lots of handling and love they will tame down.
