meh, boas are really not my favorite.. i'll look into a 'conda, but first i have to find one. i've seen greens at about 2 feet in austin, i sorta like them better, what's the growth for a male of those?
 
No offence meant,but at 13,you shouldnt even be considering condas,retics,burms etc.If you want something a bit bigger,get a bullsnake/pine/gopher.Really great animals,and not able to kill you! Otherwise a Jungle Carpet may be good.Ive worked with all the species mentioned for years,and the power even a 6-7ft constrictor has is awesome.Dont run before you can walk,for your own sake and the animal.

completely agree, but then some of my friends have been keeping since 12 and they r amazing....but tbh i assumed that as his mum has agreed she would b involved in keeping an eye over cleaning/feeding etc.

tbh i got my boas THEN my corn snakes lol just because corn snakes r cute and pretty....i also got caught up in the big snakes lol i forgot lil ones existed till u said that.

yea get a corn, bull or milk snake.

oh oh ohmexican black king snakes r cool. COMPLETELY black and look all silky.
 
already have a 45 inch rosy boa. i have plenty of experience with snakes, i have been catching snakes at the park since age 5. (some of the snakes were a good 5-6 feet.) i caught a 6 foot rat snake in a neighbor's lawn just a week ago. i will be buying these as babies, remember. i also must point out that age doesn't matter as much as experience and such. and yes, my dad would probably help with looking after it as well.

awww rosy boas r sooo cute!
oh no age doesnt matter at all, iv only been keeping snakes for a year but was never allowed one while i lived with my mum so by the time i moved out i had been researching for years and jumped in with 2 feet...not the wisest of choices electricity bills wise lol but worth it.
as long as you know how to care for an animal correctly and have an extra handler and respect for the animal then there shouldnt b a prob...but yea ur mums prob right abot not over 7ft lol

my burm was outside the other day and there must have been mice in a bush, but behind the bush was a hole in the wall of my house that goes god knows where, and he just shot in there!
all i managed to grab was his tail and i was wrestling him for about 10 mins (so my friends say, it felt about 10 hours to me lol) and when i finally got him free and calmed down, i was shaking, i felt sick and chain smoked for about an hour after....it bought it to life that if he had gone for me at any point during the struggle i would have been in big trouble, to put it politely.

According to the USGS, your retics would have taken over the UK and gone rampant eating women and children. You just prevented a national disaster!

well mine is fed monthly on a rabbit, but before i think they only fed him 1 jumbo rat a month before...not good...and hes still 10.5ft.
go for a male boa??? or even an yellow annie, aggressive but can be tamed with work and dont grow huge + annies have a fairly slow growth rate.
but def go for a boa, LOVELY snakes, dopey as anything and entertaining to watch, oh and over here males rarely get over 8ft, 6-8ft is the norm.
