most people will probably say burms but i think it should be which ever one you like the best. as long as you can find a cb baby, be it an afrock, retic, burm, green anaconda, etc., you should be able to raise it into a gentle giant with a lot of handling when it is young. who knows it may even be tame out of the egg. this is my opinion but i am in NO WAY saying to go buy any of these at 11 years of age. im 14 and dont even know if i could handle the responsibility of keeping a giant(at the moment of course

).
