Decision!
I have been trying to decided what type of snake I want next. This will be my third snake. My first two are both ball pythons. This is what I have narrowed it down to:
-Kenyan Sand Boa
-Western Hognose
-Coastal Carpet Python
-Emerald Tree Boa
-Blood Python
(Yes for each of these snakes I have done the individual research for each snake.  )
I would like some help in the decision! So please tell me which one would be the best to get and why. Thanks!

Re: Decision!
what are you looking for in your next snake? A wonderful, beautiful display animal? An impressive snake to handle and show your friends? something with cool behaviors, or something with a stunning pattern?
I guess i'm wondering how you narrowed your choices down to the ones above? What are your financial and spatial limits?

A snake that you can handle, but also has awesome patterns and behaviors. As for the financial all those listed are pretty much in my price range, and I have a lot of room so no worries there.

Well I know that Blood Pythons can be tamed down and can be tamed down but they also are beautiful snakes! And of course then you could handle it.  As for the ETB they are gorgeous animals that are for display and I wouldn't mind having that.

I would not recommend them till you have moved up the chain

Bloods can be amazing animals to work with. The keys to Bloods is from the time they are babies you need to handle them regularly. At least once or twice a week to get them use to it and to keep them use to it. You also have to learn how to read them and never back down or hesitate. You have to be confident when handling them. If you want to know more about bloods or some really good breeders PM me and i can hook you up.

I was saying houseing requirments in comparison to a ball python which is what he has now. Moving to a blood or ATB is quite a jump in care and attitude

Re: Decision!
honestly of those you listed, i would go with the carpet or the KSB... both are reliably handleable, stunning, and interesting behaviorally.
