Any better snake recommendations?

One note of concern, if you buy too many common snakes too fast, you may tire of them. I try to buy things I don't see at every reptile show. While there's nothing wrong with the few species that have become ultra common and it's certainly great that they have, you can see them most anywhere, anytime you wish. I would urge you to consider all your options before making a final decision and spend some time reading about the full range of options available. I held off for a while on a few snakes I really wanted and just kept watching and waiting and over a period of a year or two my wish list changed a good bit. Even if you want a fairly common snake, it takes a while to find out who has the best examples you can get so it's still worthwhile to learn as many details as possible before purchasing.

You make a valid point. I have the equipment needed just have to set up the temps. I chose to upgrade my bp for his health not to buy a second snake. But I have a lot more options available then I originally thought so a tank this size. I'll have to do a lot more research to narrow it down to one I really like. I'm happy with my choice in a BP his temperament is excellent and seems very relaxed with me.
