If you could only have one more snake... what would it be?
I'm sort of in that boat now. I've got 2 bp's, a brazilian rainbow boa and I only have room for one more snake. I have no plans of moving anytime soon, so I'm unfortunately at my limit. I just can't decide what my last snake should be.
Right now I'm stuck between a female BEL, a pewter corn (couldn't get that until next breeding season), a Hog Island boa, Woma python (if I can find a docile one, they are soo beautiful!) or a docile children's/spotted python.
So, I'm curious... if you could only have one more snake, what would your last be??

bcr229 - I hadn't heard of those guys until recently and looked up some pictures. They're really beautiful snakes!
Yodawagon - How big do the super dwarf's get? Just curious.

Boa.
Although, the next will probably be a Corn or BP, and I want a Pitt and an Angolan.
Space would be a bit tight for all those, but we are planning to move next year or the year after. If BF isn't going, I AM!!
Nice old house, nice yard....horrible, horrible neighborhood.
Life is too short for that.

Ooooh this is a tough one. My fiance wants a hognose so she would pick that. If I could only ever have one more snake though I'd probably pick a Gaboon Viper. They are awesome looking animals. On that list of yours I would probably pick a Woma Python. They look neat are a bit different than the normal snakes people have. Good luck with your decision!

I have a pure male SD. He's almost three years old and about six foot. Give a retic a Napoleon complex, and that's him.

Albinoballpython - I had not seen or heard of these so I Googled a pic and oh my! Beautiful snakes.
bmack - I was looking at the Hognose. They are cute things but their bites make me nervous, even if it's rare. So does the displays they supposedly do with hissing and fake striking. Their little faces are something else, though! It's hard to find Woma's here. I've even had a hard time finding Children's/Spotted python's and I don't think I would buy anything other than a bp without being able to handle it first. Hoping I can get to the big reptile expo next September!

Isn't it amazing!!! Axanthic makes some beautiful morphs, my second favorite is an axanthic firefly. I really like hognoses to but I think I'm going to shoot for my axanthics before I pick me up a hognose.

King Cobra!
go big or go home. :D

Just wanted to add.... I've found a few Woma breeders in Canada and there's a good chance I can get one!! I've been watching loads of youtube videos and reading every care sheet available. I think I might have found my last snake... as sad as that is!

Morelia Viridis (Green tree python)

Boaaaaa get the BCI! :D Live my dream for me.
If I could only have one more forever? Probably a frosted/blizzard Emerald Tree Boa.

Easy . A Cape File snake . One of my few regrets was having to sell the one I had to pay for my Snow Boa ... I'd waited years for the Cape File but even longer for the snow .
Trouble is Cape Files are like rocking horse dung .

A Brazilian Rainbow Boa or Irian Ajay Carpet Python. I was thinking about a Woma and had asked a guy about the one he had for sale and he said that it was a bastard to work with (even asked if I had any other snakes since his was so hard to deal with - been tagged a few times and wouldn't touch it without gloves on). I saw a couple at the expo here on the weekend and they are a sharp looking snake.

I've always fancied a Hypo BRB , spectacular colouring but they're triple the normal BRB prices and hard to find as well :(
I've also had Womas in the past and they are real special snakes ...... always very inquisitive rather like Retics in that respect .
The two I had were yearlings but never showed any nastiness of any kind . They were active during the day as well which was a bonus . Love their "spectacles " and I'm kinda drawn to Black Headed Pythons their slightly bigger relative ..

You can never tell, when somebody says "nasty" how bad that is or how hard it would be to work out. Not knowing the history of the animal it's hard to tell what kind of life it has had. I am really drawn to Rainbows and I think that this will be my next snake, probably a young one (have a small enclosure that would work fine). I held a two year old one on the weekend and it was a spectacular snake. I should have not let it go - should have plunked down the $$'s and taken him, then and there, deal with my wife when I got home (I have a birthday coming up in two weeks so guess what I'm pushing for?). I was at my first show/expo on the weekend and found it a bit overwhelming - so many animals to look at, so many people (in the way) and not enough time or people manning the desks to answer my questions, etc. But I did get to see some magnificent snakes - balls, boas, carpets,womas,etc, all sizes and ages, that part was really great and helped me somewhat.

I'd love one myself but I was quoted £500 for a hatchling not too long ago :(
