ADMIN - Moved from introductions
oh yeh... i am getting a new addition this week as the missus says i can
now..... help me choose with good ideas
first choice is a rainbow boa (probably too much money tho, might have to wait till next year)
the major toss up is between an albino milksnake and a hognose
milksnake attraction - bootifull snake, love the markings of red band /white , and seem to be livelier than royals (and already have stardust :)
hognose - a bit ugly but i love the habits (fake death , cobra like wings when agitated etc)
or do i get another royal - that is simply the most gorgeous breed ever for me
how much-ish are rainbow boas ?????? thats what i would really like...
aiming to get one sunday if availability is there |

Dumerils are hugely under-rated you know  they're really nice snakes but are likely to grow to around the 6' mark.
from what i've read on thehognosesnake.co.uk they don't show their party tricks much, if at all! |
Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder Hypo boas, cornsnakes, ratsnakes, Day Geckos

is it true that you need to keep humidity right up for RB's ?
i go to afghanistan in february for a few months which means my missus is gonna have to look after it (don't worry she is a good keeper and can feed too :)
if so... hognose is looking good , but as i have the room i can go up 6-7ft snakes so hmmm
i like kingsnakes too AGGGHHH! i cant choose    
if i really had some cash it would be a piebald ... but they are like £1500 starter
BTW 6954 score...and eat my own tail lol

Typically ~80% for youngsters which can be dropped down to 65-70% when older. |

I agree with Dan- get a milk snake.
I say this because I have a hoggy, two kings (nearly a milk ) and a rainbow boa and I think you would get most pleasure out of a milk.
I love my hoggy, but GP is right, they don't do their party tricks very often, so if you don't like the look of one you might get bored.
I love my Rainbow Boa, but it's hard work keeping the humidity up and they are quite expensive to buy.
At least a milk snake would be active a lot, easy to care for like a corn, grow big enough to be fun to handle and come in some amazing colours.
Go on www.thekingnsnake.co.uk www.thehognosesnake.co.uk and www.therainbowboa.co.uk to get ideas |

Thank you all for your help.... Kazerella , you helped make my mind up :)
now the proud owner of an ALBINO NELSON MILK SNAKE early 08 CB (to be sexed in a couple of months)
bought from emsworth reptile and aquatic centre in portsmouth :) Price £125
white and red banded with thin yellow bands in the white sections , curently shedding, but have seen her now in the shop for 3-4 weeks and if i am honest she was the reason for being interested in milksnakes to begin
incredibly fast mind... boy she can move quick - gonna have to be careful cos i can see her bolting off
currently keeping her in a perspex raising tank and will move her to larger premisis in 5-6 months
so now i am off to join the kingsnake/milksnake forum too :) will post photos once she has shed (she is BEAUTIFUL)
