Is there an animal that meets these requirements?

[John1982]

He specifically wanted an animal that is more on edge. Not that I've handled a lot of boas, but they have mostly been pretty calm. Carpets on the other hand, being on edge I would call normal.

Anytime someone wants to handle one of my carpets, "Yes it's tame, but also a carpet python - I make no guarantees." They are pretty quick snakes and the wrong movement can sometimes trigger a reflexive strike - instincts are just stronger in some snakes.

See if you can find a Timor python. They are like a scrub/retic cross which is awesome. They are semi long and rather thin, and it appears they can hit 7-10 feet.

I've been eyeing them up and like what I see.

I think $399-$500 for one if I'm seeing current numbers.

They are somewhat rare.

Bredli python?

[clarkman23]

When I was a kid, I'd catch Texas Rat snakes and Bull snakes all of the time & Texas Rats were by far the worst of the two (I'd rank those large wild caught ones right up there with Western Diamondbacks I'd encounter). I don't recall catching a single one that I would consider "nice"...Then there were the Coachwhips, worse still, and FAST. I have no idea how they are now that there are multiple generations of captive bred animals being produced (All of the gophers and Bulls I've since owned as CB animals were pretty mellow by comparison). As far as captive bred snakes that I've owned over the years, the Jungle Carpet I had over a decade ago was by far the worst of the bunch. He would quite literally bite that hand the he was holding onto for support. So that would probably get my vote from the three you mentioned.

I will say this though, personality-wise? I always liked Coachwhips (even though I've never kept one in captivity) with Bulls coming in second...

Cheers

That was going to be my FIRST suggestion but he did mention Albino as well , I think .
BRBs have to be a contender though

I have a columbian rainbow boa and it does take some skill but is a really fun snake to own I'm thinking down the road a Brazilian for myself as well

Apparently Columbian Rainbow Boas come in albino and leucistic. Not sure about Brazilian - I couldn't find much about it. Eventually I want to get a BRB, but not for a while yet - and I like the normals best, myself.
