Pondering Future Additions

Bear with me. I'm bored at work.

I keep changing my mind on what I want to purchase next. I do plan to try captive breeding some black racers, but that's a side project that ultimately depends on my ability to find a couple of juvies to start. But, on top of that, I'd like one more breeding pair. I've waffled back and forth for a long time on this. It's between tiger rat snakes, black tailed cribos, or true red tailed boas. I love them all, and may eventually get them all, but I can't decide what to do next.

What's your vote?

Re: Pondering Future Additions

The melanurus for me too although if you could get a really nice proven locality Bcc that would be extremely tempting.

Would have to be a top drawer boa though.

Re: Pondering Future Additions

I'm voting tiger rat. They are all great choices, but you have an indigo, so maybe something from a different place in the world? Just for variety

Re: Pondering Future Additions

Tiger rats for the challenge, not to mention you'll have a waiting list for them once the eggs are laid. Cribo's are great, but some species are restricted by state law, etc., so you may have more trouble finding homes for the offspring. Red tails are awesome, not too common, but still relatively easy to breed. That's one reason I wanted to start with boas for breeding, no incubation to sweat through, mommy snake does all that work for me, lol.
