Can't Decide!

Gee, just read through the whole thread. Am I the only Dumeril's fan? I honestly do not understand why this species isn't much more popular than it is. I was talking to a friend of mine that owns two reptile pet stores and he can't understand it either. They are freaking awesome animals!

Go with a black head. I finally broke down last week and bought one. I pick her up on thanksgiving. Coolest python in the world IMO.

I'm a ball python girl but I wouldn't mind owning a blood. So I vote blood!

carpet or borneo's both rock:banana:borneo's or blood's are a little more work ,but well worth it. Dumeril's are cool to and only get about 5 to 6 feet. One of the coolest snake that know one as said is brazilian rainbow boa's. Beautiful snakes that don't get but about 7 feet.:gj::gj:

Blood python!

How about one of each? That sounds good.

WOMAs are awesome snakes that I need to get my hands on one of these days. DO IT!

To easy, Carpet Python.

They are the most common recommendation I've seen for the herper looking to move up to something bigger (within the 6-8 ft range). Plus you can get an excellent example for just a few hundred bucks.

A lot of people will say to get this or that, but personally, I would not recommend a SD Retic. I think they are beautiful and wanted one too, but after doing a lot of research, I figured I was not ready for a Retic.

So I got a Carpet and I'm very glad I did! She is awesome!

Just my 2 cents worth, but good luck with whatever you decide to get.

Yes you do. They are still a retic. Not a big deal though from what I've heard.

i know u said 7ft but i think RTB's grow 8 FT but they are so awesome!!

You can't go wrong with a Dumeril's Boa. They are great eaters, stay under your 7 ft requirement, usually a great temperment, very good looking too.

Why haven't you gone out and bought one?;)

This post was mad back in 09 so is this person still looking for a snake?
If so you must really not be able to decide! :)

My kid has 2 super dwarf Retics and ticks are it.. For my vote.. I have fallen for them they are stunning animals the luster on their scales in person is just freakin amazing and come on that cute little puppy dog face... well its my vote. They have just grown on me they are cute!

I heard dwarf retics are cool but I never had one. I would go with a beautiful hoggs island boa. Look for a quality one. My experience with them was a great one.:)
