What Should I Get Next?

If you already have a python, then maybe you should try a colubrid next! A Mexican Black Kingsnake is on the top of my colubrid wishlist :)

I was told to keep the enclosure for my new El Salvador Dwarf Boa the same as my bp. [emoji1]

Is Nicaraguan Boa the same as Nicaraguan Dwarf Boa or are they different in some way?

I think they're both nippy as hatchlings, but I'm not sure about when they're adults

Oh, yeah, that's what I was thinking. I really do like the Nicaraguan boas though. <---- I guess it can be on my wish list until I want another snake after the Western Hognose? lol

I'd say that whatever snake you want the most, that's the one that you should get next, that's what I'm planning to do! Just make sure to do a ton of research first lol [emoji23]

My next snake will probably be a Nicaraguan Dwarf Boa. Btw I might make another Thread to ask for information on Nicaraguan Dwarf Boa. So, I can start researching on them. lol

In GA, you cannot own native non-venomous snakes.. So Eastern hogs, Eastern Kings, FL Kings, Corn snakes, etc. are out. You can own Western hognose, California kings, etc. as long as they are not native species.

I would not get a hog as a second snake... the rear fanged venomous is a consideration (some people react more than others if bitten), but they are or can be very picky feeders. So picky, that I had to rehome my male to a person breeding live feeders. That said, they do have good personalities and they stay smaller than almost all boas and kings.

A dwarf locality boa would be a good choice, as they are hardy and have a good feeding response. Getting a male would ensure that it stays quite small. Other than Nicaraguans, the island boas (corn, caulker, hog) and Mexican boas (tarahumara is the smallest or Sonoran) are good options, as well as CAs (Central Americans) which are basically mutts from different Central American locations.

A Cal. King would also be an excellent second snake and they are out and about during the day, so a better "display" snake than a boa.

Thank you, again, for all the information you've gave. :D Where would you buy a Nicaraguan Dwarf Boa?
