::The Rainbow Boas are definitely humidity lovers. Mine have done well with moist cypress on the bottom. They are tolerant of wet conditions but its best not to overdo it. They can burrow in the cypress and you just keep it moist. They are rather problem free. Remember that high humidity cages need cleaning more often. Rainbows aren't real nippy as long as you let them no you are not feeding it when you open the cage.

: Spotted Pythons are a bit bigger than Childrens. But I think you would like the Dumerils boa. Fairly large and stocky and rarely if ever do they bite. They can be picky at first. Mine insisted on live mice but once on F/T rats you are home free. Look specifically for one eating frozen rodents.

: Kings are awesome. Check out the Easterns and Brooks. Large and impressive and you wont be disappointed. Also look into California Kings, Arizona Mountain Kings and Honduran Milks. All are a joy to work with and I think will be great for you.

: Go with quarantining as snakes can be carriers of IBD and show no symptoms at all.
