you can get boa constrictors or reticulated pythons for anywhere between $150-$200 as babies. they may look small to start out with, but the boa will grow to anywhere between 12 and 15 feet, and the reticulated python can make it as big as 30 feet.
you'll need a 55 gallon tank for when they're younger, and possibly a bedroom for when they get bigger (more so for the retic.), so they can get quite costly. also, feeding them can get expensive as well... especially when they get bigger.
you could go with the boa and just make him a home out of a walk-in closet once he gets big enough... my dad did that with his 9' burmese python and 7' reticulated python before we got rid of 'em. they seemed to like it ok.
