in my Tegu's cage
Well once i get rid of my boas i will be rebuilding the cage they were in that is 6'x2'x18'' and cutting it in and stacking it so it would then be 3'x2'x3' about 150 gal. Im going to be done with boas after i find homes for my male and female. Ive been looking around online at some new snakes and ive narrowed it down to a few possibilities:
Irian Jaya Carpet python
Jungle Carpet Python
White lipped python<--still iffy on that one. pretty but moody
savu python
childrens, spotted, stimsons python

what do you think would do best in the new cage footprint? sugestions?
 
I'm not gonna get in to what would be best because I'm exhausted and I really don't know the species enough to give valuable insight, but I have had savu pythons and they are awesome. I would seriously consider them.

Carpets are nice also, but I think a little more space would be better for a larger one, but I suppose it could work well.
 
A jungle carpet will need more room, the others will be alright, I have an IJ and I love him so much! Very awesome snake, but has become perch aggressive because he thinks he a chondro lol
I also have a white lip python, they are a little more sensitive to proper humidity and heat so make sure all of that is flawless from the start. Takes some time to get em tamed down but it's possible... best to start with a hatchling. Be ready to get bitten...cause it will happen and it's not a pleasant bite lol they are nasty little teeth. but for the most part they are not as bad as people think
 
Look into some bismark ringed pythons. If you like the ones you have listed, you should like these too and they are easy to handle and much prettier IMO.
 
only prettying as babies though.... and i think they will out grow that wont they? I have seen some very large adults

I was thinking the same with the carpets but i know that the IJ tend to stay smaller.
Savu is deffinately top on my list. When i first saw them and their price i was like add that to the list!

i love the look of the juveniles but as adults not so much. Kind of like dumerils monitor babies, if only they would keep those colors.
