thanks for your replies =]
ive seen some stellar het reds/reds - ones that could challenge some cinnamons - but they are few and far between. i agree that the best thing to work with is something you can also move. A snake that may be hard to tell what it is wouldnt be the best choice. I have been leaning towards a fire - or a cinny with very heavy blushing. Ive never been a huge fan of fires but have seen some recently that have changed my mind.
