Bogertophis makes good points about thinking ahead too.
I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 40 and need to consider that the snakes I have now and any I add will be with me into my 60s. I'm not getting any younger, so I've had to consider that when considering larger and more challenging animals. As I get older I tend to favor the slower moving, chill, easy to handle species.
Just more food for thought to piggyback off Bogertophis good points...
I'm 40 also, that is why I am limiting myself to 4 large snakes. And at this point I have all males.
