if your getting a Diamond,then please do your research mate

Diamond Python husbandry is totally different from all other Carpets,they can suffer from Diamond Python Syndrome,if kept incorrectly

their bones go brittle and start to break,there in no cure for DPS

I think you'll really like a carpet if you don't mind them being nippy as babies. Carpets can get a little long (females), but they're a lean snake compared to boas. If you want an unusual one, I say go wit a diamond or some morph mix that has some really nice yellow.

Dumerils may make a nice addition, but they aren't as active as carpets. Husbandry is easy and they're easy to handle. Mine are really laid back. I don't think they're as popular as others mentioned, probably due to the lack of morphs.

Or you could always try a Colubrid

I used to have a Hedgehog - it's like a really expensive hamster that can hurt you by accident. I agree with Rob, my Hedgehog pooped like a Cocker Spaniel, and it reeked like sulfur. Fun to look at though. :P

Not my choice I like to look at it but my wife can clean it and handle it. I'm sticking to my snakes
