I say a boa. Either a BCI (Boa Constrictor Imperator - Boa Constrictor, Columbian Boa, Columbian Red-tail, are all the same) OR BCC (Boa Constrictor Constrictor - Red-tail Boa, Suriname, South American Boa, are all the same).



They average between 8 - 10ft in length and are just slightly less massive than a burmese. They're nice snakes, beautiful and normally docile if handled fairly frequently and not neglected.



They're movements and personalities are a bit different than burmese but close enough. They're size makes them more handleable and can ease the transition to a burmese. I haven't had one in many moons but it will most likely be the next snake I get. I've been thinking a lot about them for several months now.



As you already know, the bottomline is: You have to like it. It could be the rarest snake in the world, worth a heap of money; but if you don't like it, you won't take care of it properly, you'll never be happy with it. Therefore, it would be worthless to you.



Take care!
