been bitten by the bug unfortunately! i currently have a motley corn, should prob post some pics but i dont have any for some reason! any way looking to get another snake but dont know which one to go for. i want something with more girth to it so was thinking royal. i cant have a snake that grows much biggert than 6ft due to space issues.
just want peoples opinions really 
oh also i would like to be able to handle mwhat ever i get! |

I would suggest that a Royal Python is a good choice for someone with your requirement's.

my first snake was a carolina, argo. my 2nd was an anery, voodoo and my 3rd was a snow, kiwi. you could go for a tai, my 4th, or a hoggy, the males dont grow too big. there are literally thousands to choose from.

royals are a good choice, just be prepared for them not eating for maybe months, during which time, you shouldnt really handle them. what about one of the smaller boas.

there are boas out there that dont grow above 6 feet. mind i like my common. but they maybe grow larger than you want, in fact females will, males are smaller.
