So after many years of relentless pestering I finally got my daughter a Ball Python and I have to say it has been a great experience, what an amazing animal. We have had Spike for about a year and it is a very docile and calm snake that eats very well and has had no issues at all. I have to say that I wasn't very into the idea, but I had many reptiles as a child so I thought why not. Well needless to say I have really enjoyed the snake and now I am looking to move up to a bigger species. My question is what would make a good next step, I have been looking around at Burmese Pythons and Tiger Pythons but I am worried they will quickly get out of hand and they seem very aggressive. I would like something that is around 10' when fully grown and has a temperament that is close to the Ball Python. Any suggestions?

Thanks
