whats a good snake

how big do they get? and do they havr any other colors (kinda looking for unusual colors or patterns; ex:http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/...TOPIC_ID=17654 yes thats a cornsnake i think but i dont want a "common" snake lol just giving you ideas of what im truely looking at in species and another ex: in the very top few picshttp://gartersnakemorph.com/New-Acquisitions.php)

Bamboo rat snakes (Oreocryptophis porphyraceus sp) might be of interest to you...but they average in the 3-3.5 ft range (some up to 4).

eh a little small for me, there cool looking though might consider it as my next future snake

Just look at some of the pics here and in other threads http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=444822

I have several and bred two this past season. OP has a tank, due to their humidity requirements he would need to buy a different setup for them. Babies require 90+% humidity, juveniles 80-90%, adults over 75%.

They are beautiful snakes, a bit nippy when young but they do mellow out, awesome feeders that will readily take f/t, and they top out at around six feet. While the babies like to hide or burrow, the adults make good display snakes.

can you handle them though just to handle them? also I dont think I can have a rainbow boa :/ i already bought a 10 gal tank and I would always need to mist it anyways to keep the humidity up but i dont think I can make it 90 for my room especially at night time :/ it would loose it eventually at night time a possibly cool off, wouldnt it? if so I dont think I could keep the humidity up high enough for a baby rainbow boa e.e (just trying to be realistic here and try not to harm the snake with a lack of 90 humidity)

If you are considering anything except a juvenile small snake, you might consider investing in a larger space than 10 gals.

even for a baby? (goal is to get a baby snake so i time as it grows bigger I can upgrade it to a bigger tank)

Two words: humid hide

whats a Humid hide?

I like HH Moore's recommendation of carpet pythons. You have lots of choices to choose from, pretty forgiving as far a husbandry, and don't get too big. They stay slender and do like to perch, tolerate handling well.
