Next Herp

[mxrider42]

I have
1.0 Ball Python
0.1 Red Tail Boa
0.0.1 Albino Nelson's Milk Snake
0.0.1 Leopard Gecko
I want to get another snake, but don't know what to get. I like bigger snakes but not too big. Ten feet long is about my limit.
What are you suggestions?
Thanks
Trey

Dumerils boa
blood python
..those are the medium sized boids that come to mind. Something that's nice and a bit smaller is a jungle carpet python (or a bredl's carpet python)

A Borneo Short Tailed python- saw one at the show and fell in love.

See what appeals to you at your next local herp expo. Then you will also have someone knowledgeable on hand to answer questions.

I went to the Atlanta Show this past weekend and have gotten snake fever bad!!! Tree boas are aggressive right? Are they mostly for looks or can they be handled a lot.

I also thought jungle carpet pythons where aggressive?

Thanks for your Input.
I will look into these.

Hi Trey! I can't really recommend another species, since right now, I'm all about the balls!

However, you mentioned the Atlanta show, so I'm assuming you must be somewhat local to me! I'm in Marietta and went to the show on Saturday. I'm hoping the show in January in Lawrenceville is a bit bigger than this one was!

Amazon tree boas are notoriously aggressive.

Some emerald tree boas are nice, many aren't. If they do bite you, they have extremely long curving teeth that can do a number on you.

Carpet python babies can be nippy, but they normally tame down quite easily as adults. My young JCP is quite docile.

If you are looking for friendly I'm suprised you don't own a bearded dragon (I know it's not a snake), they are a herp that likes to be taken out of his cage and hang out. Most herp tolerate it to a point. Any way just thought I'd throw that out there your title is new herp.

I have thought about bearded dragons.

Have you ever been to the Dixie Reptile shows? I have been wanting to go and see if it was any good. I may go this weekend. I am also in Marietta and was at the show Saturday.

I have also looked at the Dumeril Boa. I really like them.

Also what is the Boa that is RTB but it only get about 6 feet long?

Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions.
