Id also like to suggest Nicaraguan boas. They are my favorite and they have some really beautiful colors, morphs, and patterns. Here is a couple of pics of what I have. The female is full grown and just about five foot, which I have heard is fairly common.

Thanks
Bob

guys thanks alot, i wish this place didn't have such a law but can you do! this opens up some great possibilities. no to just get rid a ball python or two, so i can free up a cage.

A Male hog would stay under 7 ft for sure!
