My thayeri is a complete joy. He seems to have topped out at about 32 inches, and is beyond tame. For a snake, he spends a good amount of time cruising around his cage. He's eaten f/t pinkie rats or f/t small adult mice from the day I bought him. No switching over or scenting or anything like that. He's one of the only snakes I've encountered that actually seems to enjoy being handled rather than just tolerate it. In fact, when I open his tub he calmly slithers out onto my arm and eventually settles around my wrist like bracelet. He's great with kids and doesn't get spooked. I bought him as a small adult from a pet shop, and it was his personality was what hooked me.
And, of course, thayeri come in several different colors and patterns (leonis, milksnake phase, black, etc.) Mine is a dark milksnake phase. His colors aren't as striking, but he does glisten in the light. I recently showed off my entire collection to some friends, and my thayeri was the one that they were most taken with.

Good luck on your search!
