Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Since this got bumped to the top anyway...
I'd vote for under 6 feet. I would like to have big lug of a boa, ... but I like my dog too much

Must be a small dog.
Even my biggest scrub (Brutus is about 12 feet or so) would probably have trouble consuming my smallest dog (George, a ~20 lb pug). I suppose though that George would make a nice meal for a retic or a burm.

i like smaller snakes as their not so cumbersome... that's why i chose a spotted - that and they have the coolest markings IMO.

I prefer under 10 ft. I love (normal) burms, but I don't want to have to be restricted to only handling the snake when someone else is present and able to pull a huge boid off of me if something were to go wrong.
Gimme an 8 ft argie or 7 ft carpet and I'm in heaven
Some 5 ft balls aren't bad though

anywhere 10ft and under is fine by me.
I love holding the snakes at the 6-10mark though, real fun to get out of the tank. I dont have anything that big yet, not til my 2 baby boas start growing. They eat great, and I excpect the colombian to be 4 feet by the year mark, she is only 1 month old, and pounding rat pups.

10ft and under for me , because thats all im used to so far.
My biggest snakes were a pair of Argentine Boa's (BCOccidentalis) my female was the biggest at 9.3 ft and a hell of a lot of girth to her , great fun they were. regrettably i had to sell them with the rest of my collection when i went travelling as noone would look after them

I said 6-10' for 2 reasons.
1. my area allows no snake withthe potential to grow over 8'
2. A python that maxes out arund 10' for the most part won't be an escape artist and is easy to find when they do find a way out(and most of them do).
Just my oppinion on it. Looking forward to more peoples oppinions to be expressed

Jake - I just have to ask: why do you think that a python that maxes out at around 10 ft won't be an escape artist? Why is it that most of them do find a way out (and wouldn't that make them escape artists)?
And just a side comment - how hard a snake is to find is related to a combination of the environment and how thoroughly you look. The only reason that the snakes size is a factor is that smaller ones can fit into smaller holes so there are more escape routes/hiding places for them. A 10 ft snake can hide just as effectively, and it is just that much more frustrating because you think it should be easy to find, lol

Basically my reasoning is this, its easier to close off a room for a large python or boa than a small childrens python thats all. A large python needs a much sturdier cage but it can have a bigger gaps(1/4") on a large bodied snake, while a thin bodied snake you will have a problem with even the smallest openeing. Just my .02 cents. We all percive it differently. A 3' corn snake could fit through a tiny space while lets say a 3' blood would need a large hole. Maybe my idea in my head of a 6-10 foot snake is a heavy bodied boa or python. Again, just what I thought of in my head
