I'm hoping to bring another snake into the family over the spring/summer but for the life of me I can't decide what I want! :) I currently have a juvie Ball python, an adult corn, and 2 garters. Another corn is certainly a thought, but I think I'de rather go with a new species. Not set on that, though, as corns are such good pets.
My "dream snakes" are the Green Tree Python and Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I KNOW I'm not yet ready to deal with a GTP yet. I want something at least somewhat tameable.
But what are BRB's like as pets? I've only ever seen them in the zoo. :p The only information I've found on them is that they are not that great in a home enviroment, and that they need extremely high humidity or they'll die. Not sure if this would be too much for me to try and take on. How big do they get? How big are they upon hatching? Good feeders? What size cage would be needed for an adult? What are they like in comparison to Ball's?
I've also considered a king/milk. They do come in some beautiful morphs. What type would you suggest for someone who wants a snake that's not generally nippy and not too terribly hard to care for?
My other thought is a Children's Python. They're adorable. But I *think* I want something a little bigger. Any insight?
As you can see - I can't decide!! I really need help. :-) I'de also appreciate any links to some extensive information on the species I mentioned, or any others you think might be good for me. Can't seem to find any truly informative sites.
THANKS!
Ooh, forgot to ask. I've heard alot about Inclusion body disease and I must admit I'm afraid to get a new snake for fear of putting my other's at risk. Quarantine isn't foolproof. Should I go ahead with it? Do all snakes with IBD show the typical symptoms from the start?
