Hiya ppl!
I currently own two female ball pythons. One is about 4 y/o and the other is about 6 y/o, I have had the older snake from the time it was a baby and the younger was given to me about 2 years ago. I have been wanting to get a larger snake and thats why im here I have no clue what I want or what would be a good snake for my experience level, suggestions anyone?!

thanks a bunch, julie

read through it and then make a decision. Boas are beautiful animals but many of them will reach monster size, and that's not for everyone. There are many smaller boas such as Hog Islands with spectacular pinks, but even most of the smaller boas will be alot bigger then an adult ball python. Pick up the book, give it a read.

you should consider a smaller boa like a hogg or corn island boa there are also other pythons( carpet pythons are good) that could fit into your experience level maybe even a male colombian.its up to you ..good luck

Thanks for the suggestion, I like the idea of some kind of carpet python, like an Irian Jaya Carpet, they only mature to about 4-6 feet am i right?
