Dream animals
A topic that is well covered but always interesting. It is inspired by the fact that a pair of captive bred Boelen'so pythons, my dream animal, were recently posted for sale. Unfortunately they were well out of my budget. So what is currently your dream animal?

Re: Dream animals
I would love a Scoria boa or an axanthic genetic striped pied ball (only bp I would ever want and don't know if it is even possible lol).

Re: Dream animals
Hmmm...dream snake....
Probably a male hypo or hypo granite burm. Too big for me to handle alone so I will probably never own one.
There is also a green eyelash or 'bushy' viper. I can't and won't ever own venomous, but those are beautiful and amazing!
So yeah...1 giant and 1 venomous but both potentially lethal!

They are most definitely possible, but not nearly as impressive as they sound in my opinion

I do love those eyelash vipers, but I am with on the venomous thing. I could never put my family including other pets at risk. I thought I would never get a giant, but Boelen's top out at 15 to 20 feet. Not a giant but certainly not insignificant, and given the right I would jump on one in a heartbeat.

Re: Dream animals
Would have to be a Dendroaspis Polylepis, absolutely majestic snake, but any of the mamba's or Gaboon vipers.

Re: Dream animals
Do boelens get to 20ft  , from what I know of them which I admit isn't much, I was lead to believe that grew to around 9 to 12ft

You're right. They average the size you mentioned and top out at about 14 feet. There are two localities, one routinely gets larger than the other, but I can't recall which is which.

Re: Dream animals
For snake, Boelens is my pick. Other than that I want a Kinkajou which is possible, but my dream animal that I would never own unless I win the lottery would be a Tiger.

Re: Dream animals
Might seem lame big a dog. I work a lot with no consistent schedule. Just wouldn't be fair to one.

I thought I had read a report of them reaching 6 to 7 meters but I can not remember where. I would prefer them be the size you quoted for space reasons. I think the southern specimens are the larger of the two.
