I have been in the same boat for a while myself. Can't decide if I want adventure away from ball pythons are not. Its just hard because there's so many different morphs available with ball pythons that you can't find with any other snakes. Corn snakes offer a lot of different morphs but where I'm from, there's a lot of garter snakes which feel like the same to me. So far I have kind of been drawn to carpet pythons of various Localities, Womas, olives, or other Australian snakes.
