What ever you choose to have Ailsa, have a look in the animal homes and for the unwanted snakes. There are plenty of them and it's always nice to give an unloved snake a loving home. |

Depends what you class as big but brbs do get quite big, females can anyway.
Mine is a real softie, never nipped at all even though they seem to have a nippy reputation when young. |

Always fancied a Brazilian Rainbow Boa they dont grow to big and seem to tame down quite well if you put the time in, it seems to be critical that you get the humidity correct but this should not present too many issues. Have a look on Youtube there are some great vids about them.
Kindest regards

You've always wanted one. I saw your welcome topic on tks. And you haven't got one yet?? Disgraceful!
I'd love more but I think 5 will be it for the mean time... unless I can convince someone to give me a lift to "visit" a pretty little milk snake XD
I can see why the protest with chickens, if he prides his garden! |

mine will have to stop at 2 else my husband may well move out, he agreed to our first dog (who is now 7) a Boxer, then i got a cat (he doesn't like cats) Then my dad died so i bought home another cat, which helped a lot, then the girls got gerbils, one of which died so that was replaced with a hamster, then we took on my sister in laws Ridgeback, then annie had to have her tonsils removed and i bribed her with a fish tank, and now we have Luna... I really don't understand his protest to my getting chickens and a rabbit lol |

looking through, i think i have my heart set on a royal, just a normal nothing fancy... I have a name thought out, just need to wait for the babies to be hatched and get feeding (sometime towards the end of the year then lol)
Yey, Royals are lovely, one question for you first though, are you a calm person?
depends who you ask 
but generally i am a patient person, and take every day as it comes.. so pretty chilled... |

I've got a cali king and she is a real character, has a great temperament and is always mellow. Down side, she craps a lot.
My personal choice would probably be a royal. That's only from my short experience with Tia. She's slow and easy to handle and best of all she only poos every now and then and that's always on a tile under a hide (easy to clean  )
I haven't experienced it yet, but the only real downside can be the fussy eating.
I'd love a boa, but I think my better half would put her foot down. |

I love MBKs, (Mexican Black Kingsnakes) the shop a frequent will have some in a few weeks and I will be going and having a look, unfortunately I have a spare RUB setup and will find it very hard to not bring one home as I have made myself a pledge to not get any snakes until after July. |
