what snake would fit this discription?

[kniterider]

rite, mainly thanks to you lot i am now wanting ANOTHER snake.(within a year or so) granted i only have 2 (sid the corn and lizzy the boa) but its still lots to me :p

now iv got the corn who will get 5 footish, the boa that will get to 9-10footish but i want something that will get to 15footish not much bigger...or smaller.

now i know sizes cant be exact but approx would be great. price is an issue so 2-300quid is most likely the limit unless its something i REALLY want and must be a baby.

iv looked at male burmese pythons but they just seem a bit to chunky to be handled or carry for reasonable amounts of time so to speak.

so in my price range and size range what would you suggest?

thank you all, its still your faults, but if im to have this addiction you can at least help me get my fix!

would they have to be certain types of that breed tho? (im sure there are several types of retics for instance?) and would they have to be a certain sex?

ps a quick google on blood pythons says a maximum of 7-10feet? not 15?

A Blood Python may not reach the length you want, but the enormous bulk more than makes up for it.

I'm kind of curious as to why you specifically want a 15 foot snake- thats quite specific, and most snakes that size are going to carry a similar bulk to a Burmese, except for Scrubs.

Scrubs are a handful, however.

An African Rock Python would reach the 12-14 foot mark, but again they are stocky at that size, and can quite happily be a real handful- at 8-9 feet, my female is a 2 person handle, and the meanest snake I have.

Male Green Anaconda would be a possibility- size again is highly variable, but it won't reach 15 feet. A female Anaconda quite frankly isn't an animal best suited to captivity, and although it will reach the length you want eventually, the bulk is going to be a real issue.

A yellow Anaconda is a more viable option due to the smaller size.

I'm not great on my Retics, but the size of even the "dwarves" is again highly variable. Kayuadi or Seleyar are examples that shouldn't end up breaking the 15 foot mark, but I'm sure there are captives that have...

One of the larger dwarf retics? Yellow anaconda, male green anaconda? I would go for something a little bit smaller and say coastal carpet but im biased lol coz i have one.
