 What do you think?

Hey guys. In June there is a reptile expo near me and I might get a new snake from there. I’m not too sure of what I want and I will make my final decision when I get there, but, do you guys want to give me some ideas.
Thanks

Do you have size limits? If not I’d recommend a red tail boa.

I’m a first time snake caregiver, and what was suggested to me was the one that I bought, a Mexican Black Kingsnake because they are a docile breed and no feeding problems like my soon to be hubby had with his Grey Banded Kingsnake. Sorry I’m being very biased here. I love my baby!!!

I do like kings. How big would a red tailed boa get? And are they aggressive? I kind of need something that is more friendly and not going to get huge. Like 5-6 feet is nice. I like to bring Gizmo outside and I want to bring my new snake out too. Gizmo is very friendly with other kids as long as they didnt go near my neighbors rat. lol. I need a friendly snake so I can bring him/her out to show the world! lol
Thank you for your feedback.

The boas are nice, but at 8+ feet, they can be a handful to take out to play around the neighborhood. If you want something that you can carry around outside easily and that the neighborhood kids can easily handle, I recommend any of the kings. My cal king regularly goes to the playground, as do my juvenile boas, but the 13 pound boa is just too much most of the time.

Just my $.02

Thank you very much guys. I think I will get another king but not the same king as Gizmo. I wouldn’t mind a little variety with a few kings around. So in June I will post some pics of the snake I end up getting.
