I'm thinkin snakes. Opinions please~!

I will also say to look into carpets. Similar care and temperments to ball pythons (although they can be nippy as babies), but are far more active and inquisitive.

I vote for either a Dumerils Boa or a Carpet Python. :gj:

Thanks, I've added Carpet Pythons to my list also, I've been seeing some really stunning ones on Fauna Classifieds

^I hate that place! :mad:

Check out diamond and scrub pythons too.

Also don't forget to take into consideration that carpets come in different sizes.

Irian Jaya's stay the smallest and average 4-6 feet. Jungles get a little bigger and can get to 7ish feet. Coastals are the biggest, with close to 10 feet not being unheard of.

I like larger snakes, I've always said the reason I'm not so big into ball pythons is because they seem small to me.

Is Fauna Classifieds a bad place? Like I said this will be my first pre-meditated buy so I don't know any breeders personally and I am not a big fan of large scale breeders.

I've never used Fauna Classifieds to search for sales, but I love the board of inquiry. I typically used Kingsnake.com, but if you have the opportunity to go to a reptile show I think that would be your best bet. I've only been to one so far and it was extremely small, but actually seeing a snake in person before you buy it is great.

But also at the moment I don't have room for any more display cages until I rearrenge some things and I'd feel a little bad putting a diurnal snake in a tub like my RTB and BP. I was surfing through the wanted ads and found a pair of black blood babies that I'd absolutely love but I'm unsure if they're for me, the owner was asking for offers and I'm terrible at knowing what a snake is worth (if I ever had to sell mine I'd probably make them a million dollars or something ^_^;;;)

Np :)

I looked for some black blood breeders to see what a fair price for them would be and I found:
-Bob Clark http://www.bobclark.com/prices.asp selling them for $150
-Intriguing Reptiles http://www.intriguingreptiles.com/Bl...odPythons.html selling them for $175-275
-The Bloodline http://www.thebloodline.net/available.html selling them for $150-225

Hope this helps you with making an offer if you go with the Black Bloods. VPI also has them, but is sold out right now.

BLOOODS! they are awesome and huge! I love colobrids as well, but they tend to be less sluggish than my pythons! i like lazy snakes!
