    good luck on getting that handed to you, all ball pythons stay under 6 feet. kenyan boas get around 3 feet, the rest can easliy be found, try a google search or type in the names of boas and pythons and there care sheet, also some male bloods stay around 6 feet

    ...You want someone to list upwards of 20 different kinds of tameable small boid and teach you how to take care of all of them?

    Yeah, good luck with that. Google is your friend.

    Several people have offered you help - Google. That's the best advice there is. You may actually learn something about some of these snakes while you are at it.

    Do you really think that most people can name - out of 26 python species, 11 python subspecies, 28 boas species and 36 boa subspecies - all of those that stay under six feet? That's a total of 101 snakes.

    I had to use Google to even find out how many total species and subspecies there were.............

    Use Google to either refine your question or find the answer yourself.

    Dang, those must be big and beautiful snakes. The biggest one I've seen was about 5 and 1/2 and the people said he was full grown.

    Edit: Definitely remove that one from the list. I just found a pic of a 7 footer weighing 20 lbs. I might be falling in love...:rolleyes:

    Jungle carpet. A very good pet, and fairly easy to care for. No high humidity needs, eats well. will do PERFECT in a 4x2x2. I've heard a 3x2x2 will work but I think 4ft is a better length.

    Would be easier to just list the snakes that get larger than that!

    Re: snakes under 6'
    Ive found Ball Python's are actually (1) of most that are good pets(and by this i mean they usually have good tempers) ,easy to handle and care for, good starter pet(snake anyway)..Ive really enjoy'd having my Ball,even at times when we can get real busy,and not spend the time wanted with them,they still seem calm when you go to pick them up..;) ohh yeah they normally stay under 6'...good luck, and like others have said, give Goggle a visit and I would say Youtube has some cool videos that can help you out....;)
