    Sumatran or Borneo Short Tail?????

    Ok, so as some of you may have seen I got the heads up from the girl that I'm getting a new snake in a few weeks for my birthday. I pretty much had my mind made up that I was going Brazilian Rainbow Boa or possibly another BP if one catches my eye.

    But.....As I've been doing more research, short tails have caught my eye. I'm only thinking Sumatran or Borneo because they tend to stay smaller than Bloods.

    Sooo....thoughts???

    Any info or experience with Short Tails and or/BRBs would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

    I would love to know this too. I only read a couple of places that said Sumatran are more mellow. I myself eventually want a dark or near black and I think that is Sumatran.

    I have Bloods, Borneos and Sumatrans and if I had to choose I would have to choose Sumatrans. I think they are the prettiest, but I love dark snakes... Every snake is different, but my Sumatrans are much more even tempered and predictable than my Borneos...

    My sstp and borneo female are both very calm, docile snakes, the borneo boy and the bloods are a little higher strung but none are hard to handle.
