Re: what should my next reptile be?
A Brazilian Rainbow Boa shouldn't even be kept in a tank or by a person who has only one snake period. They have incredibly high humidity requirements. They are beautiful snakes, but I honestly don't think you are ready for one. A BCI would be a decent choice, or a dumerils boa. Or maybe look into different types of colubrids, a lot of colubrids get to a decent length and even the nicer morphs tend to not be very pricy.

Re: what should my next reptile be?
How old you are doesn't show how wise you are. Obviously you're just a big troll. I'd go with a kind of colubrid, honestly I love mexican black milksnakes and blizzard corns.

Well I'm almost 50, and some of what you have been posting seems like it's a 17 year old sitting at your keyboard.
Please stop with the quirky comments, if you have something of worth to say, please say it... but the nonsensical posts need to end.

please go away, your just making yourself seem ignorant.
and i would have to say get a dumerils boa!! IMO they have more of a ball python temperment than a BCI does. either would work for your needs though

This is just stupid, if you arent going to post sensible comments then go find another forum to troll where you wont get picked up on them!

Only having one snake previsouly is no reason to not get a BRB next. The number of snakes you have has nothing to do with your ability to keep husbandry correct as we have seen recently with some members of this forum.
To the OP - if you want a BRB then research it and if you are sure you can keep up the husbandry then set up a tank. Keep it at perfect conditions for 14 days or so with NO blips and you have proven you are ready for a BRB.
When i got my GTP i was new to snake keeping and lots of people on here told me that i would basically kill it because i was a noob - he is erfectly healthy two years on and i have had no issues with him.
YOU know whether you are willing to put the effort and work into it and at the end of the day you are more likely to care properly for a snake you REALLY WANT rather than one yuo are told you should get because of your experience level.

With proper research and dedication a brb is a great 1st snake.

Agreed,
My GTP was my second snake and when I bought her she was nowhere near an established eater I had one hell of a time getting her to eat but now she's a healthy year and a half year old

Re: what should my next reptile be?
I'd just get a Colombian bci... Get a male so it stays slimmer and on the smaller end of the scale. (Although obviously you can get unusually large males).. They're pretty cheap, easy to keep and get a decent size. Either way it's whatever appeals to you and what your prepared to provide for it.

Re: what should my next reptile be?
like i said earlier, im getting some baby sitting jobs soon, but for now $100 is the most i can afford. humidity is definitely an issue where i live (massachusetts) so a BRB is totally out of the question. I am also willing to get baby snakes if it brings the price down a little. One more thing, i am not afraid of agressive snakes at all. i have a VERY high pain tolerance and no amount of being bitten will turn me off to the species. and this is gonna sound stupid but just for the record red tail boas look evil and they freak me out so im not getting one.

Re: what should my next reptile be?
Look through pics.. find a few different ones you like. Research the crap out of them and then come back with any questions you still have.
