i have a 40 gallon breeder tank empty and was wondering what to get. any ideas?

What have you had in the past? Maybe we can recommend something different than what you've had, but something that has similar husbandry.
If I had that size tank around, I'd go with a small pair of bearded dragons, but if you want a snake.......throw us a bone and we'll see what we can do.

>>Well um, I was planning on nto getting a anaconda or garter. Anyone else have any ideas?

Depends on what you want for a snake. A cute chubby hognose, regal morelia species python, sleek arboreal type, unusual subterranean type like a sunbeam snake, dropjaw gorgeous hellion, user-friendly king or corn, something with a pattern bold enough to blind your eyes... Etc.

Give us a vague idea of what kind of "feel" you want your snake to have. We need more to go by than just "snake".

I'll be contrary and recommend the JCP. Colorful well sized animals. And the Morelia family just has a really nice and intense presence to them.
Though I'll admit I know little of the Dumerils and am sort of biased.

a question to try and help you out, and you told me "a whole bunch of stuff" basically, so how am I to know whats been on your list?
If you had told me Garters, anacondas, corns, and...(whatever else you'd had) I could have given you some good ideas.

I cant help you if you wont help me.
