Default 3ft Viv and Managable snakes...

I really want a boiga but i'm not ready yet. Ruling out Corns + Rats, hoggies and Royals what else is there i could keep in such viv? It does have some height to climb too.

Are there any other pythons which are fairly easy to care for and stay a fairly small size. I.e not the thickness of my leg...haha

milks or kings? Depending on which you go for it will grow somewhere between 3 and 5ft.

Viper boas, these stay smallish 2'-3' and are really nice snakes in a variety of coloures that are regularly overlooked by keepers.

99% of the snakes out there are W/C but as long as you buy from a decent shop (CPR for example have nice ones) you shouldnt have any issues as they readily take defrost rodents.

They are very cool - always out and draped over a branch not hiding - not aggressive like some of the other carpets and grow to between 4 and 6 foot

Buy one - you know you want to

Somehwere I saw some for sale for £60 which is a bargain - cant remember where though
