    What to add to my collection.
    So... In October I am going to a reptile expo in Tuscon. I have been mulling over what I am going to pick up. At this point I don't want to breed. I have adequate caging for any of these options.

    That's really 100% up to you. You'll be caring for the animal for the next 20 years or more.

    I'm just looking to see what everybody would add out of these options. I'm just curious

    I mean, if it were me, and solely my decision, I'd go sunglow. But that's me and what would make a good addition to my snake family.
    I already have BPs, a Hognose and a KSB, plus a Borneo STP. The Dum would be my 2nd choice.

    Right now I'm leaning towards the dum and a female for either of my males.

    Well, you did say you didn't plan to breed att...that's partly why I chose the Dum. You know that if you get a mate for one of your snakes, you are probably "sealing
    your fate" about breeding. :rofl: It's fun, but it's lots of work & $ too...consider now if you really want that temptation. Some people find that their male snakes start
    rubbing their noses when they smell the female snake of their dreams nearby in mating season too, so there are drawbacks.

    Besides that, I've always thought Dumerils boas are awesome. :snake: (totally up to you though, you gotta live with your choices)

    I love the looks of Dumerils. And I keep going back and forth about breeding. More leaning on no than yes. I have been really looking at the BEL Ball Pythons. I love BELs. Then again theres always the albino hognose, and the scaleless corn. Lol its hard to decide. I like each of these options pretty much equally. It will probably boil down to what is available at the Expo.

    It doesn't hurt to stay flexible...one of these options may really 'call out to you' at the show...I think your heart will take over. ;)

    If I had to pick one it would be the Dum. I love Boas, but I’m not into morphs, hence passing on the Sunglow. And I’ve always loved the paint job that Nature gave to the Dums.

    My second pic would be a Blood or STP, again due to their beautiful patterns.

    Just keep researching and enjoy the posts here with pics and the decision will become much easier when the time comes.

    If u don’t have a hognose yet I’d 100% get one of those.

    Also so if you want two snakes, u can get a normal hognose for under $100 and then get a blood or whatever as well!!!
