Any suggestions...

No. I don't "want" a tiny snake; I can only "get" a tiny snake due to my parent's regulations. BTW, 2' isn't tiny, it's just smaller than average (when you see a 2-foot WHS or a KSB you don't think they're "tiny"). Male BPs are out of the question as they do grow more than 2' and they have those problems BPs usually have.

Isn't that a type of milksnake (or vice-versa)? If it is that's off the list because they grow over 2'.

Misconception correction: I can only get a snake that's 2' or less because of parental regulations. That's the only reason. It's not because I'm nervous of bigger snakes or prefer smaller snakes. Be sure to have this in mind before you post.

Nope...it's a Scarlet Kingsnake. 14-20 inches. Longest one on record was a whopping 28 inches.

I'll think about that one... How bulky are they?

About as bulky as your average 2 foot king, I would imagine. If bulk and small size are both very important, I'd advise you to go with a male Kenyan Sand Boa, as those are going to be about the only bulky snake that stays within your size range.

If you can deal with wild caught and specialty feeders, that broadens up your opportunities. Scarlet Kings fall into that catagory since they are rarely available as CBB and can have issues with feeding. Some ringneck snakes stay under 24", so they would not be too large but are somewhat specialized feeders.

Pricing also has alot to do with the 'tiny' species. What is your price range? Anthill pythons are the smallest pythons in the world. Cost anywhere between $600-$900 each. To keep a python under 24", an anthill would be your only choice for a definate. Check out: http://www.tinypythons.com/gallery/d...album=12&pos=1

You need to talk your parents into 36"......three feet broadens the snake possibilities drastically ;)

Now if you are interested in lizards under 24", you have tons of choices :D

Although, I feel like I ought to put this out there-if there just aren't any snakes you want that fit your criteria, don't get one just for the sake of getting another snake. Wait a couple of years until you're free to do what you wish and get something you really want.

Hi,

How about a male african house snake? They seem to be about 18-24 inches.

I'm still gonna go with rubber boa. Underrated little guys, but pretty cool! Or perhaps some of the smaller localities of Rosy boa. You parents really aren't going to measure your snakes I'm guessing...so really what's an extra 12in in the grand scheme of things...;)
