What's next on your list? If even out of your comfront zone.

I'm a Colubrid guy for the most part. But Pets Mart had a couple Ball's on sale for $45ish tonight. Took everything I had not to get one, but I didn't. I prefer to buy from breeders and knowing the stock. Anyway....What is on you list? I'm not a big Morph guy, and prefer "natural" colors, though there are some great Morphs of all species now. And they are beautiful.

But I digress, and sorry for rambling. So what is on your list?

This is my list in no particular order.

Hognose
Boa (smaller breed and good temperament)
Python (smaller breed and good temperament)
Other Colubrids.

There are others but wondering what your list is so I can add to mine.

Other than my daughter's two corn snakes, my indigo is the only snake I have at the moment. But next up, I'd like to get a pair of amazon tree boas. Also interested in carpet pythons.

If I ever decided to move to the dark side of Boa or Pythons, it would be either BRB or Carpet Pythons. I am much more likely to stick with some of the less common exotic colubrids though (if I ever get more snakes).

-Common snapping turtle (been looking on CL for people wanting to get rid of their captives) always open to another rescue though if we find one injured. I am undecided if I would actually keep a hatchling if we are blessed enough to stumble upon one (or a few). I have a 400 or so gallon indoor pond that I need to get finished up first though.

-Red tail Boa, the local reptile rescue has several up for adoption, but might be another 6 months to a year before we are ready to house one because I just don't have an enclosure large enough at the moment.

-Tarantula, still researching hardy, docile species that can be handled. Have several empty 10-20 gal. tanks ready!

-Anoles, when I get the extra 55 gal. cleaned up and get a nice natural live plant environment established in there!

Cornsnake or ratsnake. I have too many boids! Time to add some diversity into the collection with some interesting colubrids.

I'm thinking about getting a hypo everglades rat snake. Other options are an MBK, a hognose or a bull snake.

A pituophis of some kind or other heavy bodied medium constrictor are high on my list for wants tomorrow, but also amazon tree boas, hognoses, and everglades rats. Too much to choose!

Okeetee or hypomel corn, depending on what I find at the Hamburg show next weekend. Always did love the okeetee colors the most.

Surprisingly I've caught 2 the past 2 years. I pictured and released. I had to stop traffic to get the smaller one. Not highway traffic, but not a country road either. He's living in a good size pond now.
