Sounds good. Whatever you decide on getting will be fun nonetheless.
True, I mean you really don't appreciate how much beautiful snakes are out there until you really start looking, I'm never gonna claim to be the biggest snake expert but I am just starting out and I'm going to get the biggest collection of snakes that I can possibly manage haha
im one of the silly few who believe a HEALTHY male burm shouldent be out of the question, theres no reason for your 10 ft snake to weigh 120lbs.. a helathy male burm should be roughly 10ft and 60-80lbs i never understand why they are precieved to be so much bigger.
that being said tho if you havent even had a boa, go with something similar to what your looking for. for example a coastal carpet female should be between 9-11ft and around 20lbs of active intelligent snake so thatd be a good step tword a retic or a bci if your loooking for a burm because the attitudes line up for the most part. that being said though, thats only because u said u loved snakes i never suggest starter or begginer snakes because more often the case those are the ones who end up in rescues and on craigslist.. im a strong believer in get what you want and love it and learn with it but if your looking to expand your collection into giants you cant go wrong with a carpet or boa, my carpet is still a little spitfire and i love handling her soo much diffrent then my retic who tends to just veg on my shoulders
My Collection
1.0 Tiger Retic "alvin"
0.1 Spawn of Satan Carpet Python "unnamed as of now"
1.0 black lab "parker" or any innapropriate word that comes to mind when needed..
0.1 do girlfriends count?
The Girlfriends Collection
1.0 Lame ol normal ball python
1.0 Pain in the butt mutt "ozkar" a (chiu-oodle)

Thanks, and that's pretty much the same way I think if I'm honest, plus I still live at home and my mom doesn't want too many snakes haha , but for me I've been around snakes that are 6foot+ (my uncle has a king and rat snake) and my friend looked after his cousin's 7 foot rainbow boa for about a year so i can get plenty of help if it would be needed, but I'm sure I'll be alright aslong as I do the research before
