Hello! I have always loved snakes, but never really thought about having one as a pet, or thought about how good of pets they could be, and was always set back from the idea, because of the whole live mouse/rat feeding thing. But about 6 months ago I went to a reptile expo and my boyfriend got really into them and so we started researching them for him. until i realized hoe amazing they are, and got obsessed. Now 6 months later and visiting about 30+ stores talking to breeders, and being to almost every expo around me, i need one.
But i don't know what kind to get.
I absolutely love the Brazilian Rainbow Boa, but have been getting mixed reviews of them, some say that they are mean, and hard to keep in the right conditions. So i also like the ball python...
I'm looking for more of a laid back, friendly snake, that could almost sit on the couch with you, not having to worry that its gonna try to go everywhere and bite you....(i understand that it all depends that every snake is different personalities, but just in general)
But also a good sized snake, i feel like in going to hurt the little ones, and i just enjoy the larger ones, also not to large, that me a 5'1 girl couldn't handle.
Sorry for the long message, but hoping that someone could help me out on getting more information

Thanks!
