Looks like I need some help!

i would say RTB because i just got one. it has an awesome personality and all the BP at the same store were really agressive (tried to bite me and the worker). they do get huge but you can make a cage and use it as an entertainment center or something to save on room if that is an issue.
this is assuming that there are no crazy speakers or anything to upset the snake.

I would start looking at a spotter around 8ft but thats just my opinion, obviously dependent on the species again. Since my collection is expanding I've started ordering bulk rats with some mice thrown in for my king, but I do have a reliable source of feeders, Mice, Rats, Quail, Chickens, Rabbits, you name it lol. At the moment I would be setting the RTB up in a bin as he's still quite young, once he grows he will get his said enclosure, it really is heart breaking when you see animals like that, I once saw a full sized Cal King in a cricket keeper at a store. I honestly couldnt tell if it was alive or not.

Either way I'm looking forward to what i get and have obviously gotten addicted haha

I BLAME ALL OF YOU! J/K

Just get what you like the most. No one else but you is caring for the animal so you have to enjoy that.

Also, on the handling side of things, don't forget that a BRB is a lot more slender than any RTB so at 6ft it's not very difficult but a 6ft female RTB can be a bit of a handful. Always good to have someone around when messing around.
