WOW! Thanks to each and every one of you. I have A LOT of time. My wife will need major convincing. Really because of all the great advice, it's still a tough decision, but I feel like a BCI or a male BCC might be the way to go. I like the slightly more active and curious aspect of the snake. I love the attitude of the Dumerils and the size and length and thickness of the Bloods. The Carpets were mentioned, and I can see really digging them.

I'm not sure why, really, I have no idea, but for some reason PYTHON seems so interesting to me. Maybe it's because we have a Royal and it's gone so well. It seems natural to go from ball to blood but I feel that the folks here seem to think BCI or BCC might be the perfect snake for me.

I'm glad I have a lot of time LOL!

Thanks to all of you!!!
