    Small snake suggestion?

    Hi - new member. I've had a corn snake for 12 years and recently acquired a GTP and ball python. I have room for just one more, in my office, but fairly space constrained... Probably a 2x2 cage. What's a suggestion for a smaller colubrid that won't exceed 2-3' at full adult size?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    You could get a kingsnake or a milksnake they stay a little smaller than kings...specially Pueblans....or a garter snake...they don't get very big if I'm not mistaken

    Thanks - actually sand boa is my favorite idea out of all these! All great suggestions though. I assumed only a colubrid would be <3 ft, so I am intrigued by the sand boa idea. Not sure about hognoses... Call me shallow but they are just a little too goofy looking for me (and maybe I'd be too goofy looking for them).
