"Intermediate" level snakes

I've heard fantastic things about Macklott's pythons! And I'm a sucker for Savu pythons (those eyes! Just stunning)

But they are very gorgeous, I sure do love me a jaguar carpet.

That's true! Jaguars are next on my list. I especially love the pure coastals. When the price comes down I'd, also, like to get into granites and zebras. Right now I have, in addition to my jungles, a pair of Irian Jayas and a pair of diamond/ coastals.

Hey Erica! I've had a pair of Macklotts that I raised from babies in the past. Like carpets they are nippy as babies, then grow into tame adults (most of them anyway!). I really miss them. I wish I never would have traded them away.

Haha! My mistake, not used to retic abbreviations :rolleyes: and in that case I certainly second that desire! I'd love to work with this species on a smaller scale before taking on the giants.

There are so many possabilities.. My carpet happens to be aggressive but my ATB is super tame so that's kind of ironic. My amazon tree boa is an excellent display snake with gorgeous colors but they are not really a handling snake. I would also recommend a BCI. My boa is out all the time climbing and he s super tame and a fantastic eater. They are really beautiful, too. You can't go wrong with a boa.

What about a dumerils boa or an amazon tree boa?

Lets see some ATB pics.
I need another snake on the want list :p

X2 on a Dumeril's

Might be easier to start with what you don't want. :D

I have a dumerils :) she's my baby! Lol but not quite big enough to move into her permanent enclosure. She always hides though, will she be a good display snake when she's grown?

Here she is
