Boa & Python Sizes?

Indeed, a king snake would be waaaay more forgiving of husbandry errors and much cheaper to set up. A BRB could easily be your next step up after that, though It's great to see you asking all these questions to get a realistic idea of what would be required of you if you were to commit to a certain species. Love to see that mature approach, rather than jumping into something and then asking questions later when things don't go so well.

I agree from what I've read, thanks

Thankyou, I'm often told I act more mature than my age (I see maturity as an attitude rather than age) I always like to know these kind of things, especially since I've had experiences with all types of emergencies. I like to know and be prepared and prevent if possible (I keep lead ropes inside the house in case my horses get out, I know how to mend a fence and how to get them back in the pen from which they escaped. and have done too with no injuries to horses or myself) I am very glad there are patient people like you who will answer my continuous questions (I've learned a lot from browsing the forum too. Like humihides, mites, stuck sheds, ect. I learn from other people's mistakes as well as my own. Preferably from others lol) I find the most common problem is stuck shed and that it isn't very bad if it is not constricting anything or blocking the eye, and often caused by low humidity. I've also learned that in the case of a snake lost for a long time, in addition to checking everywhere (contrary to many suggestions from people that don't know better) is to not use tape to find a lost snake but to sprinkle flour on the floor and watch for slither marks, a day it also helps if you cool down the house, and make a hot/ warm spot with maybe a prey item as well.

I figure that I'm not going to have one for a long time (unless there is a miracle) until I have a snake to I think I'll continue learning and figuring out what snake is best for me. Again, thanks for tolerating long replies XD
