Well, it's been said here that stopping at 1 snake is hard to do. I've found that after we got our son a B/P and things ended up being easy (thanks to great advice here), I've got a fever for not just more cowbell, but for another snake.

I'm certainly a fan of the B/P's and actually love the normal colored ones. I'd like to go with something a little larger and a little more "busy" and I mean a little. Nothing overly defensive or in constant motion.

Basic care and husbandry similar to the B/P would be nice.


I've looked at the Dumerils Boa and was almost completely sold on that snake. Today at the reptile store one of the workers really liked the Red Tail boas and told me 6-9FT was average and the big 10-13's were somewhat rare.

I also like the Argentine Boa and if I understand correctly they handle cooler temps well??


Out of those 3 what are your favorites, why and which do you think is easiest to care for?

Nothing will happen for at least a year and I'm open to a few other options. I didn't feel the blood python, or any dwarf versions were in the cards.

What besides the B/P is you favorite constrictor?
