    Good next snake..?

    Hi! So I'm wondering what a good next snake would be. I have 2 ball pythons right now, and I love them like crazy, but I am very passionate about snakes and would like to expand my little collection to maybe a few other kinds of snakes..? I'd like something a bit more challenging. My favorite snake, and my dream pet is an albino burm But I know that's a bit bigger than ball pythons lol. And I live with my mom right now, and she doesn't like snakes too much.. And this is defiantly for in the future! I just got my most recent ball python last weekend, so in like a year or too But I'd like to know what a next snake would be, especially if it's a different kind. To 1. Start researching them and 2. Start saving up Thank you!

    I love RTB's (red tail boa). I only deal with balls now though. Corns are fun hand snakes. King snakes tame down the more they are handled. Garters are really easy to keep, they prefer fish which is different. Snake keeping is a big world with a lot of choices.

    Oh I love red tails! I just think they get a bit big, at 8-10 ft Central American boas? Colubrids are great, I really do like them. I'm just kinda looking for something a bit different Thank you!

    I'd go for a boa (BI). When fed responsibly, their size is very manageable. They are also pretty docile when it's not feeding time. Can't go wrong. Lot's of morphs and very affordable. Easy take care of as well. It's win win.

    Thank you! Do you have any recommendations? Like smaller boas like Kenyans, or bigger guys like the RTBs

    Central Americans are smaller. I thought you were asking the rtb's natural range lol. Red tails come from central america and south America, typically Columbia.

    Rosy boas are great, they are a little smaller than balls.
