what would be best?
i am going to get a snake for my birthday and i cant exactly decide what to get. I want something that will not get over 8 foot and will not cost a lot of money. I have had many snakes before but then i had an entire room for the snakes cages. I still have plenty of room but i dont want to take up too much space. if you have any suggestions i would appreciate it

How 'bout a Cali Kingsnake. Easy to care for. Cool pattern. Not too big. Easy feeders. Reluctant to bite. You can put your extra money into a nice cage for the snake. I also like Gray Banded Ratsnakes, which are a little more expensive. I'm also partial to Sinaloan Milksnakes.
I don't like Ball Pythons 'cause some are difficult feeders.

i am not much of a fan of ball pythons, either.
BUT... if you get one from someone that breeds them, and it is already eating f/t, and you don't handle it much, you should be ok. |

I'm not sure what your price range is, but I'd suggest one of the smaller carpet pythons. Obviously I'm partial to them =), but they are light bodied, fairly even tempered, pretty, and way more active than a ball python or boa (though I have Hogs too, and they're also nice snakes). Jungles top out right around your 8ft limit, but irian jayas top out a little smaller. You should be able to find a jungle or irian jaya carpet for around $150ish. |

Check out Hogg Island boas. They rarely exceed 6 feet.

What about a male bci, they dont get too big. I selected on poll a breeder, though I have nothing against petstores, friends are a great place to get reps from or other, I had to choose one so went for breeder as I thought you'd get good advice while there and also have a chance (maybe) to see mom and dad. |
