what should i get
I really want a snake that would be a challenge. Something that would need extra work. Ive always enjoyed working with large reptiles, and im wondering what kind of snake should i get? I want a snake that will grown pretty large. I would like to buy one as a baby, and i would like for it to be about $100. What should i get?

The only snake I can think of that fits all of the criteria you listed would be a normal male Burmese python. If you don't mind spending a couple hundred more, you would a lot more options though.....
If you're in Canada, there aren't many snakes of any size you could get for under $100 though and the ones who require more care are often more expensive due to the difficulty of keeping and breeding them.

There are TONS of burm breeders. What part of the US are you located? Maybe you can even find a breeder in your city....
Also, being the US, your $100 will go a bit further.
Here's one of the bigger breeders in the US....

Hey what snakes have you owned before? Just wondering, brb's don’t get too big but do require more attention then some other species, Burms are hardly difficult too care for, just Big, there requirements are fairly standard with the exception that they get huge,

Hey, have you considered a boa? Maybe a nice female they get larger then males, as well BCC tend too get larger then BCI, but both can reach an impressive size then stop growing before its too much too handle, I know a 7+ foot boa can be quite a hand full too interact with, very tame, but also very strong, just try convincing one too get back into its cage when it feels like going somewhere else.

Boas are very common, Actually check the classifieds there were some in there today, I'm not sure of breeders around your exact location but there must be some there as well. You would just have too ask around,

I don't recommend Burms to people under 18....Burms are a handfull and are not a throw away pet. Is there care hard?...No. But they get large enough to make it hard lol.

Gary I dont think the age matters.....basically your saying that anyone over 18 is capable of caring for a burm...which isnt true at all. I am 16 and take care of my burm very well. He is a healthy and happy burm too. And I also cage him appropriately.
Thanks

OH......and to the post..
I dont think a burm would be a bad idea. YOu could get a nice male burm for 100 bucks in the US. Just make sure you can accomodate it for its whole life oh and be prepared to feed them a ton cause there appetites are insatiable

The reason I say 18 is because you are an adult. And by then I hope that someone of that age will know what direction they will go or want to go....... Kinda lol
It is not easy to move a full grown burm. It is hard to find a place to house it if you choose to go to school. It is hard to find a place to live that allows them lol.
And you are right just because you are over 18 does not mean burms are fine.
I get calls all the time from 14 to 18 year olds saying that the snake got to big and mom and dad does not want them having it any more. Or The snake struck at me and I don't want it any more. Or i am going to school now I can not house it.
Or the best one. I have a 15 foot burm Gary. I am going to school and I am looking to get rid of Sammy(burm) I want 500 bucks for her cause she can breed for you lmao..........
I get calls daily about burms needing homes. lol Ok maybe 3 to 4 times a week.
