Bottom line, you need to look around and decide what you like first.



Then select a animal you like.



BRB's are nice colorful animals that do not get too big, only 5 - 6 feet and relatively slender. Mine are very handleable (except one that can be nippy if overhandled).



Dum's, don't have any myself so can't speak to temperment. I have seen some adults that were quite large...not so much long as very girthy.



BCI's, many local's and morphs to choose from. I have several and all are also handleable. Larger then the BRB's and I could see them not being as easy to just pull out and handle/show off. I have a 11' adult that while tame is still quite a handfull (or 4) to just pick up.



BCC's, the "true redtails" again I don't have any myself. I've heard they are a little harder to care for but I'm not certain what the differences (difficulties) are.
