How are they different from BPs?

Weren't all 3 short-tailed pythons considered the same species at first? Are the Sumatrans really that different? I don't like their dark coloring but if they have different morphs I'd be willing.

yes, they were. there's a reason they got reclassified, they're not the same. Sumatrans will not grow to the size of the other two. They are considerably more relaxed in my experience. the only sumatran morph is caramel albino.

I don't like carpet pythons though---too skinny

to each their own, I consider morelia to be the greatest of all snakes!

The only other snake I really want is a boa; I love red-tails, but they get too big for me so preferably I'd want a locality like Pearl Island or Hogg Island. I need a snake who can live in a T-8 or similarly-sized enclosure

you might want to consider a male BCI since bigger is better (but not too big). I think that would be a better choice than blood/borneo.
