Looking for recommendations for my next snake...
I've had my BP for a couple of months now and am hooked on snakes. I'd like to get a second, maybe even third snake but am looking for some ideas. I know it's all a matter of opinion, etc. But I'm curious what others might recommend. I'd like something that is the same size as or smaller than a BP and not too difficult to care for. And preferably a species with less humidity requiremets.
Thanks!

opps sorry. I'm really open to any suggestions. I've never heard of a children's python. Are these difficult to get?

Corn snakes.....they come in all colors, are slender, but get anywhere from 3.5-6ft long. But about a 20 gal (long) to 30 gal should be fine for an adult......or even a large rubbermaid.....
sand boa's, rosy boa's, are the first thing that comes to mind but I don't know their humidity requirements. But everything else has atleast a 50% humidity requirement....
Like I said, corn snakes, great eaters, TONS of diff. colors, they get big, but stay small in how big around they are.

i was looking at sand boa's before i got my ball and last time at the show they had beutiful ones..they dont get very big and they dont need a very humid enclosure at all..since they live on sand. There really cool and when they burrow its awsome..reminds me of that movie with the giant worms  cant remember the name though..anyone?

i would recommend a hog island boa, a bit more advanced and a tiny bit bigger then a BP but theyre awesome. also ive heard corn snakes are great, they get 3.5-6 feet but are very thin and require a smaller enclosure then a BP also.

Kenyan sand boas ..I have 2 and the colours are great ... everyone is somewhat different ... and they are easy to feed ..I take mine out of the tank and put it into a warm small rubbermaid ..simply drop a thawed mouse in and bam .. done in 5 min ... its great ...I find jvis hide more ..I have an adult female and she goes in and out of the sand all the time .. its great

I am thinking King Snake myself. I just go with fate though, if the right deal comes along and it all comes together then I have a new acquisition, if not then oh well iit wasn't meant to be.

Children's or Spotted python! My Spotted Python was my first snake and now I want every snake in that Antaresia Grouping (Children's, Spotted, Anthill and Stimson's). They're absolutely amazing and VERY easy to care for.
