    Good species for that cage... at or under $200-$250
    Carpet
    Nice pair of Corn snakes
    Pair of amazon tree boas
    1.3 group of Kenyan sand boas
    Another ball

    I have always been told to not house corns together.

    I've been looking at ball morphs and California king snakes

    I'd go corn or king (a single animal for that cage): easy to keep and nice display animals (mine will burrow here and there but I see them out and about frequently).

    I was also looking at Colombian and Brazilian rainbow Boas. What is the difference?

    That tank is too small for either of those snakes.

    For years, we maintained our adult corn morphs together, usually about 4-10 snakes, in a large 6'X4'X3' these guys sold fast but there were always at least 4 in the cage, we had zero issues. I have heard of some fears concerning cannabilism inElaphe guttata; however, every literature I have read on the subject cites it as a rare occurrence.

    Locality and color mainly, Colombians are from Colombia and tend to be less bold in coloration, whereas Brazilians are from Brazil and are known for beautiful bold colors. That cage is cutting it close on size requirements, but a male might just fit, if you want a rainbow then I highly suggest planning on upgrading especially since while Exo-terra makes a great cage, humidity retention is still relatively poor and you will save yourself a few gray hairs by just building a nice 4'X18"X18'' out of wood/pvc...some rainbows will climb, more of an individual thing. The main key in keeping them is keeping humidity high and heat moderate as the species can heat stress rather easy, your basking should be no more than 88F. This species is used to the cool undergrowth of it's habitat despite also being a capable and sometimes avid climber.
