You're limited in your options if you're looking at 'true giants' such as burms, retics, afrocks, green 'condas.. because there are so few species that attain that kind of size.

Are you looking only at things that have the potential to break 150lbs? To any BP owner, a 30lb snake can sure seem huge.

Pick any species that reaches sizes over 30lbs, and I'm sure you can find individuals that are incredibly calm as well as individuals that come out swinging when you open their enclosure. There are no set rules for species personality, heck there was a thread started today asking about what to do regarding a ball python that was very defensive.

Oh yeah, i'm sure any snake...as with any animal, can be very defensive. I assumed, when I asked, that this was going to be some what of an open ended question with no real right or wrong answers.

As far as size goes, I'm thinking anything 8 foot plus..I really dont know, no real limit on size either...this is also a long way down the road, just better to get prepared now I suppose
