I would say to go with JCP, they are my personal favorites.
And fortunately they are on the list.
They are not to large and not to small, they have a little attitude at first but you can work them in quite easily and you don't have to much to worry about them going off eating.
All round a nice snake.
But it is all just a matter of opinion.

my personal favorites are Brazilian Rainbow Boas...for one they are absolutly beautiful, and they're not to hard to care for(as long as you keep their humidity up) and there just plan FUN!

Seeing you allready have : a Golden Gecko and a Water Dragon I'm assuming you pretty aware of humidity needs of some reptiles..

This being said, BRB can be a good choice.

The carpet is also a great snake wich is a good 2nd snake.. since you allready have a BP.

Personaly I'd wait for the Burmese (too big), I'd also wait for the Blood (can be agressive, depends of the individual you buy) need more practice with nippy snakes and as for the Red tail... again a size issue.

Other suggestions..
CB Amazon Tree Boa...

Here's an idea... instead of letting us pick your snake, how about YOU pick the species that you most want to work with based on research, and if you have specific questions about a specific species, ask us then. :) Letting us pick your snake for for you is like asking us how you should vote. Go with what YOU want.

well i have an idea of what i want. this is part of my research:P i was looking at a CB amazon tree boa but the one i was looking at was really agressive. i really like the BRB's though. there definatly at the top of my list at the moment

Good point. It's best to make sure you know which animal is best for you before you go and buy, not what other people prefer. Unlike when I'm shopping for clothes ;) I don't even consider acquiring an animal unless there's something specific I've been eyeing for some time beforehand

like i said before i have in mind what i want. this is just an inquery thread. this way i can find out who has what and get personal advice and such. more of a broad subject untill i narrow it down. PS. most lickely will be a BRB. i love there colour and i know how to keep up the humidity

Well my vote was for other with a mind towards IJ carpet. Any of the choices would be good. Hell, I'd go with any one of them, maybe you can flip a coin a couple dozen times or something.

Well what are you looking for in your next snake? The above snakes are all quite different from eachother. Do you want something that is easy to handle or just look at? Do you want something that will make a nice display animal or are you content with one that is not? Are you going to be able to handle a very large powerful animal if it is very aggressive?

many things to consider i know. but right now im REALLY leaning towards a BRB just because im pretty much already set up for one
