Probably a boa or a burm

Boa for the size - Burm for the temperament

BCI?

Male for the smaller size?

My BRB will get to 6foot ish but very slender - would love a large bodied snake.

Bigger - the males are slender and sleak the females large bodied. The male to female difference in boas is incredible

Where's your sense of adventure?

How about a blood python, or is that too similar to a royal??
