What snake should I get as my final addition!!!

Hey guys

well, I have 4 animals now. and I am looking to add one FINAL addition to my collection

at least until I move out :)

So I was wondering, what should I get?

Here are the 3 main things I am looking for in a snake:

1. It must be between 6 - 9 feet long.

2. It cant be a burm, retic, or afrock, or even green anaconda (however yellow anaconda is a possible choice)

3 it must be fairly cheap. I wont have the money to buy a 200 - 300 dollar snake

Any recommendations on what you guys think I should get would be appreciated

I have my own ideas but id really love to see the community's thoughts and perhaps my mind will change

Thanks!!!

Maybe a Red Tail Boa???

Carpet python? :)

Yeah I am starting to think about getting my red tail a boyfriend sooner rather than later lol

Also, a brazilian rainbow boa!!

There are some other species of python..Woma pythons are cool! Blood pythons are thicker bodied although sorta short.. Maybe a big female ball python of a morph you like!

Woma Python or Blackhead Python.. Dumerials boa's are nice as well

I produced a few sunglows this year, and man, they are awesome. I love their colors.

In addition, an Angolan python would be pretty awesome.

Thanks! I forgot about the rainbow boas

Blood pythons arent really for me, and womas are great but they are a little expensive for me

Im not to into ball pythons. yeah I said it lol. I mean its great to drool over the morphs and look at other peoples great BP pets, but for me I dont think I would enjoy them as much as I would another snake

Blackheaded pythons are amazing, the only problem is I havent seen any for sale anywhere in quite some time, and the ones I have seen have been insanely expensive.

Dumerials boa is a snake that I am seriously considering :)

Rare in the US, even rarer in Canada :) lol!

So far ive head some great suggestions, and im considering every single one of them

Thanks guys!

Yeah I second either the Brazilian rainbow boa or a woma. love them:D!

Thought you were dead set on a male Yellow Annie? ;)

I still think you'll be happy with either the above or a nice carpet python.

Are you still planning on going to the next expo?

I was until I went to handle a 9 footer and almost got my face ripped off :l

Yeah I am thinking carpet python or something like that

And yeah I am gonna try to make it :D

I still gotta call my uncle and ask but its most likely a yes :)

I would recommend the Dumerial boa. Hogg island; or a spider ball python.

How about a longicuada boa great patterns on those guys and that would be an interesting cross with your rtb.

"Final" addition! I think I've had, let's see, 11 or 12 "final additions" to my collection to date. :gj: ;)

I would highly recommend the Dumeril's boa. Absolutely my favorite snakes ever. Almost all are puppy dog tame and have almost sweet dispositions. They have that big snake feel without the long term concerns of the size of burms or retics.

I Got My First Jungle Carpet A Couple Of Weeks Ago, Completely Beautiful Snake, Really Lively, I Think You'll Find Them a Truly Amazing Snake.
