I got my Royal last week which is my first ever snake/reptile. Now obviously after a few days and one feed I;m a snake keeping legend!! lol
I cansee myself getting bitten by thebug but I'd like to aim next for a bigger thicker snake but I don;t know enough about the species names to know what to research
Can anyone point me in right direction so I can start looking
cheers Simon |

| If your looking for something bigger/thicker then you should be looking towards a Boa... |

| I agree with Daz. I was in exactly the same position and after much reading decided that a boa was what I was looking for. Mine's a big girl, she's nearly 18"! |

I was expecting that GP!
Dumeril's are great, they don't get quite as big as a BCI / BCC. I do prefer the BCI markings though. <<ducks for cover!>> |

Bigger thicker snake,

you could also look at a CCP or a JCP |
