    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What snake should I get?

I have been looking for a snake, I want something under 6 feet. I would love a ball python, they're one of my favorite snakes but there feeding regimes are just so stressful, I hate it. Corn snakes are a little quick and skinny for me. I want something that has a little girth too it and generally has a good disposition, I now all snakes can bite, but a species that tends not too. What do you think?
 
Look into the dwarf locality BCI's. As babies they are nippy and defensive but my adults are all easily handled.

I have two female and one male 2013 Tarahumara boas. The females are just shy of five feet, the male is barely four feet. They all act like BCI but in a much smaller package.
 
Maybe I'm confused as to how hectic bp feeding is but mine ate a fuzzy every 5 days and now a mouse every 7 days. Hopefully switching to weaned rats on a 7 day schedule until he's bigger. I mean I defrost and feed a mouse weekly. Seems easy.

I would like to throw my hat in and say rosy boas. If handled, most adults are quite docile. They are easy to feed, have more girth than corns, and come in many pleasing colors. Coastal rosys in particular have good size and many localities are beautiful.
