GTP gets my vote. I have one that I keep behind me at the office. He's meaner than hell, even though he's a CBB. But I didn't get him as a "handle" snake and more of a display snake. Great conversation snake when people come in and see him.

My local reptile store has a Indonesian vine snake the previous owner switched to mice. The guy worked at a zoo. It's possible but supposed to be very hard. Personally from what I've read and heard about them, I wouldn't suggest getting one unless you have a source of lizards you can rely on. You can try switching it but prepare for the possibility they won't switch. It's hard up here finding feeder lizards as a source. I wouldn't get one otherwise it just so happens the store I go to has one already switched over and eats regularly.

^^ agreed.

The only reason I got mine is because of a constant reliable source on anoles and house geckos.
