    FIRST:

    You need to outline what you can have.

    Size, Temp requirements, Space requirements, Temperment, Food Requirements.

    Pythons is a HUGE Group

    You can get a lot of things, and probably some things you more than likely can't and shouldn't handle.

    SPELL IT OUT before asking these types of questions.

    People don't know what you are looking for.

    People don't know who you are.

    You need to be more open before asking these types of questions.

    size tank 10-30 gallons, not TOO hard to take care of. its colors can be as simple as a whit lipped python and as bright as a chondro.

    The list could be long how about helping narrowing it down?

    You are talking about looks but what about your knowledge as an herper, what category do you think you are fitting in?

    Beginner - Intermediate - Experienced - Very Experienced

    What species are YOU familiar with? (and I am not talking about you knowing what they look like but the species you are knowledgeable about when it comes to husbandry, care, needs etc)

    What species have YOU researched? Which one can YOU provide for? Which one meets YOUR criterias?

    No offense but you seem pretty demanding. Why don't YOU try doing some research on what YOU want pick up at a reptile show. It's ok to ask questions, but don't rely on people. It feels as though the good people on this forum are doing more work than you are.

    OK Coolguy, Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but I have to say this.
    Instead of randomly posting what tanks you "need" to fill. How about you do not get anymore pets and focus on the ones you do (or don't) have.
    I’ll leave it at that

    Re: What python species should i consider buying at the reptile expo im going to?

    I agree. This, if I remember, is the second post I have seen by you asking what type of animal you should get for yet another tank. You should have a clear Idea of what kind of animals you want, or you don't need the animal. Have I decided I wanted an animal on a whim? Sure I have, when I was five. Have I done it lately, in a manner of speaking. I decided on a whim to buy two more normal female ball pythons, but as I already had about 8 others at the time, I had a pretty good handle on how to take care of them.

    These are animals, not collectables that can be bought, sold, and traded on a whim with no effect.

    you are obviously just trying to stir the pot with your incessant useless posts... i suggest you just sit back and read some posts for awhile. maybe post pics of your animals when you get a minute... not trying to be rude but looking through your posts, it's pretty obvious what is going on.

    I hate to sound mean to the OP. But it could also be because this kid is 14 years old.

    in that case, i recommend a corn snake, not a python.
