    Which snake should I get next?

    So I just got a baby Beauty Snake this weekend, but I am already thinking about what to get next. That and I am really bored at college and need something to do...

    Anyway, right now I have an Eastern Kingsnake and a Ball Python along with the Beauty mentioned above. I love my Eastern King. He's a big sweetie pie. My mother kind of stole the BP, and I am kind of okay with it because they aren't really my type of snake (I know, I know, I am on a BP website and here I am saying they aren't my thing...). I like a snake with a little more personality and energy I think.

    So what should I get? And why? I will research all the snakes suggested.

    Let's get a conversation going and talk about our favorite snakes!
    1.0 Eastern Kingsnake (Bombadil or Bombi)
    1.0 Normal Ball Python (Taz)
    1.0 Moquards Beauty Snake (Cadmus)

    0.1 Morgan Cross (Jasmine)
    1.0 Appaloosa Quarter Horse (Ace)
    1.0 Welsh Corgi (Wallace)
    1.0 Great Dane x German Shepherd (Boggart)
    0.1 German Shepherd/Hound Mix (Suze)
    2.4 Well Loved Kitties (The Black Cat, Tubby, Maddie, Alice, Jasper, Janie)
    Many, Many Cows

    I was really giving thought to a western hognose! They are so cute!

    Get a Hog island Boa perfect size, very curious, active, yet mellow.

    If I were you I'd just focus on that beauty snake because I don't think they're many in the hobby then perhaps you can get some more of them and breed them in the future.

    I say get a Rufous Beaked snake though.

    Once I manage some more space (after kicking some of these kids out... LOL), I'm looking at getting a Hog Island Boa as well (original morph type). I think one of those will fit the bill.

    Same here, I don't want to move up to a medium size snake yet with my kids being so young.

    Any time I get the need to see some awesome boas I just go over to my friends, his hog island has a kink right behind her neck and you think that would make her ticked off her whole life but she is literally just a bigger ball python if not even calmer.
