snake or a lizard ?? which makes a better pet ?

im trying to decide what should i get as a pet i have a 100 gallon tank and im thinking about a lizard maybe like a green basilisk or water dragon as i have experience keeping water dragons
but on the other hand i do like snakes but not the huge 12 feet and up i would like something bigger than a ball python but not as big as a red tail or constrictor
o heard that the aussie pythons make good pets by saying aussie i mean the carpet pythons i did my research and i found that they usually grow from 6-8 feel and live 20 years plus with a proper care and maintenance
although my main issue with snake is that they eat rodents and sometimes it kills me when i see videos of snakes eating rabbits on youtube i mean how cruel and maybe thats cause im a rabbit owner but i would never do that

If you're a rabbit owner, i would definitely go with a lizard. I love snakes, and I happen to think a snake would be perfect for that tank. this is the problem... carpet pythons tend to be pretty aggressive, and even though you may be really careful handling the two combustible elements (rabbit and python), snakes with high predatory instinct (like carpets and burmese pythons) make the probability of a bite a little higher. Ball pythons would be safer, but i understand the size issue. The other thing is that it may be better for your psyche to not have to witness the feeding of these reptiles, especially if you have a fondness for rodents.

Spotted Pythons!!
