I have a normal BCI (almost 3 yr old) and a young Ackie, but my next snake is either going to be a BRB, a GTP, ETB, Dumerils or a firebelly boa .... just have to pick and wait till i have more room..!! which one would you get? and/or which one should i get ha?

I would recommend the fire belly if you can get one if you can't get one of those get a ETB. Do you know where to get a Fire belly?

there are a few places that i have herd of, some one i talked to is waiting on some baby right now. Their not easy to come by, plus i would like a true firebelly if i got one not a mixed one ya know.

a firebelly would be my choice but followed closely by a ETB.

ETB and GTP are generally considered advanced snakes, primarily because of the humidity requirements. Keep that in mind....

ya i am aware of that... i already have a fogger and a mister bottle and a good humidity gage.............. i know i could handle one, so im not worried about that but i just want peoples opinions.. im thinking either BRB or Firebelly as of right now.

Firebelly closely followed by BRB

Which one are you most drawn to? Which one do you keep looking at over and over? Also, what type of interaction do you want to have with the snake? I ask because you want to make sure whatever it is you will be happy with it. The BRB, durm and firebelly would be much more handable and the GTP and ETB would be more of a display animal. So that should help narrow it down. Both the firebelly and BRB would stay on the smaller side (5-6') while a durm is typically larger and in the ones I have seen MUCH heavier bodied. I would just keep looking a pictures, look at lots of websites, as much as you can and get what draws you the most. In what you have already I would lean towards the BRB since the coloration would be diff. than what you already have, but then again, I think brbs are one of the most beautiful snakes.

Some good points... right now its between the firebelly and the brb. I like the brb's and the firebellys its just the firebellys are hard to come by and i think it would be awesome to have one cause i love how they look and the are smaller snakes. Its also nice to have something that not everyone and their mother have. So im thinking in the end, the one that is going to win is going to the be brb cause of the price and scarcity of the firebelly, but i still have some time to decides and stuff to.. we will see, thanks for in input!

i would DEFINITLY get the firebelly if you can...otherwise, the green tree pyth. the gtps are so like, mystical...just like the way they are SO different from any other ground dwelling python/boa
