I actually picked a female northern almost strictly for their size (and I like how pine snake's head shape and scalation looks) after seeing an adult female at the show, who was about 7 feet and the same width as my dumeril's boa is currently. Though if you get a male gopher snake, that's kind of like a dwarf version LOL. They're all pituophis!

Funny enough her size and seeing how big adults get, is what's making me like pine snakes even more :p I'm still blown away at how big day old hatchlings are!

Pits are wonderful snakes to keep. I have a couple of bull snakes that I absolutely love. This is a pic of my female when she arrived in 2014 and another pic of her now. She's pretty close to 8ft and as sweet as pie.

That's the downside of so many being on the BP & boa-bandwagon...way less diversity available, & yeah, you miss out on some terrific snakes. And easier to keep
in terms of temperature & humidity, but active & need larger cages. Same goes for the larger American rat snakes...lots of personality.

I grew up keeping colubrids, so I've always had a thing for them, especially the big ones. Still hoping to get my hands on more of them... i like bps, but they are just alot more picky and far less active than i prefer.

There's facebook groups for basically each snake species and genus, down to the most unusual ones. That's how I find breeders, other than hoping to see them at shows!
The "Pituophis Enthusiasts" group has quite a few.
