I have just had this floating around in my head for a while and just thought I would think out loud so to speak. My next snake won't be for a while due to financial constraints but it's nice to think about it because sooner or later one of these guys is coming home.

My first choice is a BCI they sound exactly like what I want good feeder, good with kids, and don't get super huge. A while back one of the places I get dinner for my boys at had one. I say had because I found out it's a BCC which I cannot do. To double check to make sure I was not crazy I even took the Mrs. with me and we both looked at the markings on his back (can't remember what their called) it was in fact a BCC. So to get one I will have to go thru a breeder which is not a problem if I could find any with just plain ol BCI's.

My second choice is a Blood Python I had not ever heard of them till I saw them on here. I love their colorings and from the info I have read they don't get to huge. The only drawbacks to me would be that I have read sometimes they are goofball eaters like Ball Pythons and I already have one picky eater LOL. And that they like to burrow which Nanners already drives me crazy with LOL. IF I am misinformed on these points please correct me like I said I love these animals and think they are beautiful.

My third choice is at another local place where on occasion I get food for the boys and the Mrs. gets crickets for Cricket and it's where I got Nanners as well. They have a beautiful Yellow Anaconda still smaller than Bob he is in a tank with a Green Anaconda but make no mistake I would never dream of getting a Green. I have done some research on these guys and I found out that males only get to be 6-8 foot. Now that is at the very limits of my size requirements and guess what this one is a male.

I have also read that Yellows while much less aggressive than Greens can still be booger heads and bite ya. Which really is not a fantastic thought of a 7 foot anaconda taking a swipe at me. But like I said he is still pretty much a baby at this point and I feel that with enough TLC he could would be a great addition to the family.

Now I must admit that a small part (10%) of the reason I love this guy so much is because well he's an Anaconda. There is a "cool" factor with this guy but it's not like he is a hot or something. And that certainly does not mean that once he got big and not as "cool" I wouldn't want him any more
I love all my animals and I would never get rid of one just because it's not a cool thing to have anymore.

So will it be contestant number 1 contestant number 2 or contestant number 3 .

This is nothing that is happening anytime real soon but like I said I just wanted to think out loud and get some input. Thanks for any idea's and suggestions you want to throw out.
