Default What Snake Next...

What Would be a good step up for my next snake?

I have a royal at the moment and when i upgrade his viv in the next couple of months i want to get another snake to fill the gap.

What would you recommend? I am interested in corns but have plans for gettin one of these soon so i would like to look at something that can stay in a 24x18x18 viv, maybe another type of python that doesnt get so big. (i can always upgade vivs again thats ok so maybe a snake upto about 6/7ft)

Any suggestions and I will research...

You could keep any of the Anteresia group of Pythons in a 2 x 1.5 x1.5 ft viv for life.

Spotted
Childrens
Stimpsons
Pygmy (also known as Anthill)

Great little snakes.

Enjoy choosing!

Sand & Rosy Boas could live in that tank until adulthood, except maybe the largest of females, also Hoggies and maybe a garter?

how about a rainbow boa,
just got myself a crb and she is lovely

also have a brb on my wish list
neither of them get to the size of a comman boa.

there is also a hognose, might be able to leave it in a 2ft tank all its life (if im wrong im sure someone will correct me)

Hoggies would be my first idea in a viv that size.
