Love those 'butter' balls, LOL...really great quality snakes! Just beautiful!
I am trying to think of some right off the top of my head, does it matter if they are boas or pythons? Some of the smallest that immediately come to mind are Kenyan Sand boas, Rosy boas (they still get a few feet long), Haitian dwarf boas, and Children's python.I like reptiles a lot too. Can anyone tell me what the smallest captive bred constrictors available are?
No, it doesn't matter which family. Several feet is still a bit too long. Perhaps I should look into non-constrictors. I'll research the names you posted.

Still think I am forgetting something, lol.
You're welcome. Out of those that I listed I have personally kept Kenyan sand boas (they are interesting, but if you want a display animal they would not be a good bet as they stay hidden all the time) and Rosies. If you get into the constrictors that are not boids, such as your milksnakes, rats, and kingsnakes they are easy to keep but still can get a few feet on them in length, so that is why I didn't list any of them as I could not think of any that stay under two feet or so.No, it doesn't matter which family.

Up to three feet or a bit more is manageable but anything beyond 4ft would be getting big, I think.You're welcome.

Wow! One of the nicest Pastels I have seen in a while! Can I see some post shed pictures pleaseee?Like these little ones, Mercedez? (look below) When you say white, are you talking about the pastel axanthic spider? I hope to work with the Crystal genes someday, along with Banana (whitesmoke), Toffee, and Mystic Potions. They're getting close to being within my reach. I'll be working on blue eyed leucistics next season, as my female is just a tad too small this season.
Angela - The bloods are pretty good. I got that little gal from Kara and she's fairly even tempered unless it's feeding time. I use veeeeery long tongs to feed her. I've only got a few select boas. I'm looking to cross Matt Crabe's redline albinos into some Lipstick line sunglow genes. Smokin! I also have a Tarahumara dwarf project I wanna get going on but am still hunting for a female. I've also got a few African import morphs for creating my own "lines" and some neato unusual stuff to try and prove out.
Sarin - Believe it or not, that's a regular ol' pastel. That's one of my two babies from this year. I can't wait to see what she looks like when she hits 1500 grams.
Drop - I love love love the Dreamsicle. Ralph Davis really puts out some amazing stuff, doesn't he? That's the morph that really had my mouth watering when I decided to make this leap. I've got the genes here for it, it's just a matter of growing them out.
My scalies say thank you for the compliments everyone, and send hugs.
Are any of those commonly availabe in the U.S.? I really like ball pythons, but they get so bug as adults. I like the juveniles.I am trying to think of some right off the top of my head, does it matter if they are boas or pythons?

With the more stocky, muscular snakes 4 ft can look a lot bigger than it soundsUp to three feet or a bit more is manageable but anything beyond 4ft would be getting big, I think.
Male Ball Pythons don`t get very big at all. They average around 3-4 feet.

That is what I have heard as well. This can really be seen in our primate cousins, even chimps and monkeys in captivity who have never seen a snake before in their life will freak out if they are confronted with one.I don't know why alot of people are afraid of snakes, but I read somewhere that it may be because of a survival instinct that we developped long ago (or something like that). The same for the fear of spiders.
