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.

Intermediate level snakes?
Hello all, i am looking for a little bit of advice on what types of snakes would be an upgrade in care requirements, size etc. Currently i have a columbian boa and a corn snake. I'm really just interested in knowing what i should be researching for the future.

You should research snakes that interest you. There are many species that will require more detail oriented husbandry - including boas, pythons, and colubrids.

I have several BRB's and I think they are considered intermediate due more to their husbandry requirements than their temperments. While babies can be nippy they grow out of it with consistent, gentle handling.
If you get the right equipment to maintain the humidity they need (think PVC reptile enclosure vs fish tank) they're really no more difficult to deal with than a BCI or ball python.

At this point, if you have consistent husbandry and maintanence routines, a lot of species are open to you. I second bloods, I love mine and I would also recommend carpets and possibly other morelia if you like.

I'm constantly finding new stuff that i like but the bloods and brbs stand out the most to me. I like arboreal snakes but most of them need larger enclosures i would think.

BRBs are beautiful and can be fun to hold, mine was always on the move when I had him out, kind of like the personality of a corn snake in a boa's body. Mine hung out either in his hide or in the water bowl most of the time.
If you are interested in something that would be more for display, I highly recommend Amazon Tree Boas. They are small and come in a variety of colors, they usually hang out perched and generally sleep in a coil on the floor of the cage (will use a hide if offered). Adults can be kept in 20" cubes, 24" cubes or a nice 18x36 size and have pretty easy to maintain temps, high humidity, they are generally bitey which is why I say 'for display'.
