Hi, my name is MacKenzie and although this is my first post I have been browsing the site for quite some time now. After looking at countless websites and reading a ton of information I am unable to decide what kind of snake I want, there are too many to chose from. I currently only have a reg. ball python, that I've had for just over a year with no problems to date, the snake is about 1.5 years old. Anyway, here's my question that I hope you guys can help me with... what should I get for a new snake? To narrow it down a bit here's a few things I'm looking for:

5-8 feet in length

colorful(the ball, although beautiful, is getting boring)

maybe somekind of unique feature(a bloods girth, rainbow boas irridesence*)

Here's what I've been thinking...

Emerald Tree Boa (saw one in a pet store, and it was love at first sight)

Brazilian Rainbow Boa

Jungle Carpet Python

Bull Snake



Difficulty in keeping, like I here the ETB's are, is a challenge I'm willing to take on. I just really want something different, that makes an impressive display and wonderful addition to my current one snake collection.



If you made it this far, thanks for reading and sorry for the long post, thanks in advance to any suggestions.



-MacKenzie
