Need first hand recommendation
Hello,
This is my first post but I have been a reader of this forum for months now. my fiancé and I are looking to get a second snake. We currently have a 1 year old boa(BCI) her first, my fourth(my parents got me a ball python and 2 corns when i was young.) that we saved from the failure to thrive list from the back room at petco.(mites and wouldn't eat). shes been happy and healthy for months now, and now that you have an idea of my background with snakes, we are currently considering the following:
Carpet Python
Woma Python
Blood Python
Brazilian Rainbow Boa
Western Hognose
Ive read about requirements and potential size of all of these but looking for a first hand account on what the community would recommended. I am looking for a snake that i can handle frequently, and had the following questions.
Which of these may be more difficult to keep? Why?
Which of these, if any, is similar to a BCI? (looking for a little variety)
Which do you recommended based on personal experience?
I realize that the Western Hognose is the odd ball on my list but considering getting the Hognose ,her favorite, and one of the others in the upcoming months.
Any advice or input is appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul
