what snake would fit this discription?

[kniterider]

its basically a mixture of what i want and what i feel i can look after properly.

15foot for what i want is because il have a approx 5foot and a 10foot snake with my current 2 its just something that bit bigger to have that variation...pluss a different type of snake.

what i can look after is beacuse of space and people i have to help me. space because its a big bugger, pluss as i say id like to be able to hold the snake and carry it etc not just have a floor snake (ie something so big all i can do is pull it out etc) and the fact il prob only have one person to help me handle, 15foot mad snakes bad enough with 2 people, 20+ is not something i want to wrestle with! lol

do the retics remain "fairly" slim comared to the others? and what are their personalitys usually like? i know there are nutters with all breeds.

15ft of snake is a lot to deal with! and at that size its not really going to be something you can hold and carry around...if you are wanting that size then you will have to face the fact that it will have to be somewhat of a "floor" snake...my female burm is only just over 10ft and she hurts my back when i have her in the air for more than a few minuites, she is not a particularly chunky burm either.

Coastals average 8 foot

The only one that's going to remain fairly slender is a Scrub Python, but thats going to be a nuts snake, very powerful at that size, and most definitely a 3 person job. At least it won't be a "floor" snake.

They tame out pretty well.. Wildlifewarriors babys are really tame... So not really a 3 person job like your making out, there not gonna strangle you then kill your babies...
3 person job, winds me up that statement, 3 person job if your a complete retard and let yourself get into trouble with one

3 person job just in case you get into trouble. They move fast when they want to.

And don't imply I am a retard please, I'm trying to offer some suggestions to this guy.

cheers all.

i do see where you are coming from with weights etc. i have had a look at the reticulated python thread and they seem to stay pretty slender? or is this not the case when they are fully matured?

i like the sound of the slender scrub python, are they generally a nuts breed with a few gooduns or is it just bad personal experiences?

also how hard are these to get hold of and at what sort of cost?

Yea mine is about 8 foot maybe a little over that.

to be honest at 15ft they would be capable of getting you in nasty spot of bother, i know what your saying...but its always best to play it safe, maybe not 3 people to handle, but it would be a good idea to have at least one other person on stand by just in case you did get in a spot of bother, i know little of scrubs though personaly, but do know the large adults i have seen (not many i might add lol) have been nutcases! I do hear they tame down very well...but all snakes are unpredictable, even the "tamest" ones...
