Definitely second retics!!! Although that Boelens caught my eye. Kinda look like a Chainlink king on meth and steroids.

I'm going to say hands down a GTP. the setup needs to b nice and wide, the fact that they need a tree\forest like enlcosure makess your setup much more cooler, GTP's come in manyy colors I don't how many exactly but my favorite was a yellow and black one I saw at the expo, hope these other people showed you some stuff you like its pretty ausome ^.^

My Russian is always out and very active, she is very docile and curious when out of her tank.

Good article on them: http://www.reptilechannel.com/snakes...at-snakes.aspx

i plan on having two animal displays in my house in the future one a beautiful GTP setup and two a beautiful saltwater aquarium by far i think that when someone is walkin through a house for the first time not knowing wats there when they see it they will be amazed i would like to figure out wat locality the blue GTPs r and save up some money for them cuz they are amazing

Blue GTPs = Aru there are blue markings in a few others but the solid blues are almost always Aru. :)

I prefer a good mix of colors on GTPs i will post a pic....

Boelens or a nice sunfire rectic!

1.0 High Yellow Jungle "Bruce"
0.1 Mack Snow Tremper Albino "Ava"
0.1 Rainwater Patternless "Pita"
1.0 Albino Checkered Garter "Herbert II"
0.0.1 Common Garter "Lucile"
0.0.1 Eastern Milksnake "Tiffany"

My favorite look on a GTP is the yellow whites green and blue markings. Its hard to see the blues on this one but as it got older the looked better and stood out more.

the pics arent the best but i like the variations in color not just solid blues. the Crosses the older they got the more the blue popped out.

But i still would take a Boelens over them.

I'm surprised no one said an amazon tree boa! If you can deal with the attitude they make wonderful display animals. I have a 1.1 pair of garden phase atbs and they are always active.

Not mine, but I rest my case!

My lucy texas ratsnake is ALL kinds of fun. She will chill all over her cage and is feisty. They have a rep. for an attitude, but if you handle enough as babies, the adults are usually chill. She will bluff with tail rattles all the time, but calms down once she's out of the cage. Tends to be an energetic snake species compared to BPs.
