Lots of good ideas. I'm a little ways away from purchase, because I like to research the crap out of things.
I had a red tail years ago. She was cool, but they just don't do it for me.
Carpets are cool, but I'm more of a pure bred person. Although there's plenty of pure strains available.
Savus sound cool, a little slender though.
Black heads are cool, but way too pricey for me.
Don't like kingsnakes or corns. I've had corns before. They aren't "exotic" enough to keep my interest. We have garter snakes where I live. That's what colurbrids remind me of.
Maybe I've spent to much time looking. Everything seems over done to me. Classified ad burn out. Maybe that's why nothing is exciting to me.
