I have 5 snakes(ball python, childrens python, vine snake, corn snake, gopher snake) but want more I am obsessed. well I have a wish list and am definately willing to add to it. I have a cage with a ball python in it but the ball python doesn't fill the big cage(36" long, 18 wide and 24 tall) and I was hoping maybe to fill it(it used to hold a red tailed boa for my aunt). I want to either fill it or be far from it. My wish list has pythons boas and colubrids but I want more pythons or boas so help me choose my next choice. My wish list has sand boa(want pretty darn bad)carpet python(can fill the cage and are awsome), anthill python(far from filling the cage but awsome and so smallthe smallest python), woma(wait never mind can't afford it), borneo short tailed python(so cool I think they are such good pets), white lipped(it is ok but requires more care and it can be provided just too much extra time though), blood python(got an attitude but I have to say they are the coolest and I'm not sure about filling the cage with these guys), centralian python(so awsome but they fill the cage too much but are they coolest), rubber boa(far from filling the cage but soo awsome take up very little space and eat small meals), Viper boa(not sure on price or much but they look awsome, and finally the rosy boa( stay smaller but are pretty sweet) So what do you think I should get next?
thanks for your advice Josh

"Help me choose" what?

Is this a list of animals you want to get rid of? You say "what ever lizards my vine snake hasn't eaten".
If you are going to abuse everyone for not answering your questions quickly enough, you might at least ask a clear question.

I went and found your last post where no one responded. You got upset that no one responded to your "question".

on 3/6 you said :

"I decide to get a childrens python not my only snake it is my 5th in my collection right now(ball python, corn snake, vine snake, san diego gopher snake het for albino for sale, and new childrens python) he is small. HE feeds on small pinks, and is still in a shoe box I set up in about ten minutes so used to it heated side about 93 degrees, got a skull for a hide he can climb around in and a toilet paper roll for the other and a small water bowl. He is so small compared to my other snakes. but he is still cool. got to go feed him now havn't fed since I got him letting him settle in."

and after getting upset by the lack of response you said on 3/11:

"It seems if you have any questions on newb stuff you don't get responses I just want to know how my setup is and I don't think a single person has even read my thread it makes me sad.
I'm not mad just annoyed"

Now call me crazy, but all I read was basically you telling us a story. There were no questions involved. So therefore you got no responses.

And in regards to your latest query, I personally feel that the list of snakes you are interested in would either be too big or too small for that cage. That or they are too terrestrial to house in a cage of that height. I'd recommend a large Spotted Python....that is really the only boid I can think of that would do well in the longterm in a cage that size. perhaps a small adult West Papuan carpet maybe but they too may outgrow a cage of that size.

A smaller (male) Savu might do well in that cage.
