Hi, I recently bought a bigger viv for my corn snake, and the old one is 30" long x 18" x 18" and im looking to buy a snake to live in it as a medium sized adult, i can house it as a hatchling no problem. I was hoping to get a jungle carpet, but am told they will grow too big. Other ideas include dwarf red tail boas or rainbow boas. To be honest i really wanted a big snake but my mom refuses to let my buy a viv over 3foot. I'd like some kind of boa or python, but perhaps a rat snake.. Anything really. Nono's are hognoses and ball pythons, i just dont particularly like them :S Im willing to do extensive research, but there are so many snakes! I dont know where to start and im hoping to narrow down the search.

Thanks in advance, this snake would be a christmas or early christmas present probably from the doncaster show :)

It would probably house a fully grown House Snake, Rosy Boa or Sand Boa. Any carpet python would be to big, and so would the rainbow boa and probably even a dwarf boa.

it may be suitable for a male crawl cay boa, or possible some of the smaller milk snakes.
