Pythons are cool. But so are colubrids, and there are lots more small, inexpensive colubrids IMO - have you considered looking into them?
The other thing, is what defines "good pet"? That's different for everyone... active snake, or snake that hides a lot... handleable, or nice display animal... color preferences... etc. Try to be more specific.
Re: Name all the pythons you can think of that make good pets. =]
I DO NOT recommend a Blood.
You seem young and this seems to be an effort to find your FIRST snake. A Blood would not make a good first snake.
Look into Corn snakes.

Now on the smaller side you have your spotteds, and childrens only getting 2-3ft i believe other then that im not too sure. There are tones of snakes but I cannot think of any of the popular pythons. I guess you could go for an irian jaya carpet python they are nice snakes I think they stay in your size range.

Lol. im 14 years old, i have 2 bloods, i have had one for 6 years and the other one i just got from a local breeder 4 months ago. i have 4 balls, 1 jungle carpet, and an 8 year old BIAK chondro. i think i can handle something other than a corn, don't ya think? ;)

If you really have this much experiance with snakes I find it odd that you ask this kinda question.
Also, cut the other threads.
but to answer your question I think you should look into rainbow boas (not a python I know)
Re: Name all the pythons you can think of that make good pets. =]
i just like learning about new species that's all. the rainbow boas are very nice but i just don't like the high humidity requirements and i just don't like boas overall. ive always been a python guy and always will be. i think it has something to do with the look of the pythons face compared to the boas, do you know what i mean?

I agree on the rainbows head but I think a boa constrictors (and the many morphs) head is pretty awesome.
I personally love carpet pythons as far as pythons go.

Yeah, I actually know exactly what you mean
I think chondros have the coolest python heads.
The coolest boa head would definitely be a Madagascan tree boa, in my book.
Sorry if im getting too off-topic
