Suggestions for a new snake

kane65 May 09, 2004 10:32 AM

I'm a Ball Python owner looking to purchase another snake. What type of boas would you suggest? I'm not interested in anything that would get so large as to be difficult for one person to handle. Preferably something that my 9 year old could handle as he spends a lot of time helping me with my reptiles. Enclosure & upkeep cost aren't a real concern as I'll do whatever it takes to make the habitat right. Thanks.

If I were gonna buy a Rosy.......I would get it here. I am sure there are others out there that have a great selection as well. Paul was always helpful whenever I asked him questions about them.

Brazilian rainbows make great pet snakes. Hog's Island boas, or a Dumeril's boa are both solid choices, too.

good luck, chris olson
