They said she is a red tail boa? common boa, she is a rescue and an absolute hideous, cranky woman, she is moodier than me! Read the thread on cranky boa and that is her.
So ken I noticed you have four, how about a fifth? I think you would just love her she is so sweet!! (Hysterically laughing)

Carpets are beautiful snakes but a tad nippy as youngsters. They also tend to be more active and less laid back than what most people think of with regards to pythons.
If your experience is limited to ball pythons but you wish to step up to a larger snake I would suggest the common boa constrictor. They are attractive, hardy, reach an impressive size, and most are mild mannered when treated with respect.
However any snake can have a bad day and nail you.
And the bigger they are the more it hurts!

I don't know if I would personally get anything bigger than the common we have now. She is a 7-8', 25# monster. She is usually good temperament but we are still working through getting her over all the shots she had to be given. There is no way I can handle her myself and need my husband around just to get her out of her cage as it is too high for me to reach. She is also all most twice as long as I am tall. Just my two cents worth or was that only one cent worth????

how much are you willing to spend, i would go for a Dwarf tiger retic, i would say a 10' is probaly above average for a dwarf, and besides dwarfs having a calmer disposition than a normal retic, tigers seem to be the most laid back of the retic morphs, so it would be a smaller version of the calmer giant. you can check them out on Kingsnake. good luck with whatever you choose.

Just to add, a big female coastal carpet python can do 12ft+, we have a male here who is pushing 10ft....as for a miled mannered one as others have said it is luck of the draw I'm affraid

How much are you willing to spend? I got my first woma about 3 weeks ago and he is great! He has never hissed, struck, etc. and has a great appetite. Depending on the locale, they are from 5-9ft long.

woma as a beginer snake...hmmm a bit risky unless he is loaded ..if so get a boelans and one for me too!haha

i vote boa! boa constrictor imperator or boa constrictor constrictor if you want bigger beast. What other snakes have you kept? Your experience level will also bring more possibilities...but a boa I think would work the best for you.

Why would it be risky to have a woma as a beginer snake? The only other snake I have had before this one is a corn snake. Just curious why you thought that. Plus you can get a male woma for around $350 shipped. They arent horribly expensive.
