You can say that again! My beardie is a full time job. 3 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year.Lots of work, but so worth it. If they weren't so time-consuming, I would take in more.
I'd go with one of the boas. Or the white-lipped python. They look really cool but I don't know anything about care or size.
I love boas!
