Dream snake

[jpsteele80]

My dream snake has finally become available is the US, I was shuffling through fauna classifieds and came across 2 different ads for rough scaled pythons, I have been infatuated with this snake for years and have always wanted one but due to there scarcity I never thought they would be available. I knew they were in the US and certain people had them for breeding projects, I will own a pair one day, as soon as that pair doesn't cost 7k.

Any one else have a dream snake or reptile that they wish to have or finally obtained?

[athms]

eastern indigo or angolan python

[poomwah]

another vote for eastern indigo.
that's my first choice for a REAL snake.
In the imaginary world, I want someone to breed a northern pine snake with a copperheads pattern

[IW17]

Eastern indigo, Boelens python, Papuan python, etc. I want em all lol.

The King Cobra

"Ituri" Rhino viper. It has been my dream snake since I was 12 years old or younger - normally I wouldn't remember a specific time frame, but I got my first tarantula for my 12th birthday and named her Ituri after the snake haha

[Terranaut]

Boelens python and Eastern indigo.

[Mikoh4792]

North American ratsnakes

[moghue]

Gaboon viper, Anthill python, doubt very much i will ever own a Gaboon viper though

[Sharlynn93]

I will never keep hots, but I absolutely LOVE gaboons, so that is my unachievable dream snake...but I did get my real dream snake this week, my green tree python...collection complete...unless a couple expensive bp morphs become more affordable. But that's a long way off...

Agreed, hots would never be something I would keep but there beautiful snakes

I just admire others. Lol. Im good w the ones I have... :D

[Moreau]

Green Tree Python
Boelens Python
Diamond Python
Granite Irian Jaya Carpet Python

I will also say Eastern Indigo. Though living in Florida, I will probably never be able to own one unless I move. Perhaps a cribo or a Texas Indigo would be a nice addition, though.

[pdomensis]

Incredibly deadly viper from Lemony Snicket.

[RyanReptile]

Indigos and black tail cribos are two species I will probably never likely to own.

I considered buying a pair of indigos, until I heard that they drop atomic bombs practically every day that can stink up your entire house and they smear it everywhere....then I changed my mind.

Same here.

[sharthun]

Boelens python and Eastern indigo.

Wow, I can see why the Boelen's python is on your list!

[aaron_cg]

Boelens Python and a Platinum Retic

[kmj]

Indian cobra

[Jinxygirl]

At this point in time I really want to get a Tarahumara mountain boa, even my boyfriend likes them and he's always the one I have to try and convince lol. We hope to get one some time in the future. :)

I'm down to monochrome carpets on my list... all the other ones I want have been ticked off the list.

[LadyWraith]

Eastern Indigo. They're messy but I've decided I don't care lol.

By monochrome you mean melanistic and super zebras?

no.. just boring old black and white ones, if i can find some with a nice dash of yellow it would be even better.

Roughies are easy to breed and have decent sized clutches,so imo the price of hatchlings will fall rapidly over the next 2 or 3 years

there are a few breeding pairs in the USA,also there's a few breeding pairs in Europe

give it 4 years and they will be all but giving them away mate


cheers shaun

There's not much chop to them... more active than a chondro but lazier than a carpet. Once the novelty of them dies down as they are bred in numbers, only true fans would be getting them. People only mostly want them cause they are new to the market.

I really have been fortunate in that almost all the species I've wanted to work with, I've managed to own. I adore Popeia nebularis, and was given a beautiful female by a friend. I've always wanted an EDB and rescued a really nice male. I love Bitis and now have Gaboons, puffs and rhinos.
I think I pretty much have all my dream snakes. I'd love to get some jumping vipers, but they don't seem to be available in the US anymore.

I have a jumping viper. I may be able to locate some if you want me to search for you.

[Tsubaki]

A couple of mindanao or Bicol retics, sadly both incredibly hard to find in Europe.
Edit: Just found a couple of Mindanao, inquiring about them :D

[reticsbydzine]

Mine would be a calico retic...man i gotta find a good deal on one someday

[Tsubaki]

Not sure if they export, but you could try filaretic - germany.
http://www.filaretic.com/sortiment/nachzuchten/calico/index.html
1500 for a still normal colored one, 2350 for one that already changed color.
Not sure if thats any cheaper than in the us though.

[jpsteele80]

Not sure what the exchange rate is but normal colored retics are 75 to 100 us dollars and lavender/purples are like 500 us dollars

[Tsubaki]

We're talking about Calico retics.

[jpsteele80]

I know but you had mentioned colored, didn't know if that's what you were talking about, Going to need to shell out some money for a calico

[Tsubaki]

Calico's are born with normal colors

[jpsteele80]

Doesn't matter how there born, what matters is the fact you don't see them to often and they usually command a higher price, least that's what I find when I'm scrolling through adds

[Tsubaki]

I'm not sure you understand, you said to me:
Not sure what the exchange rate is but normal colored retics are 75 to 100 us dollars and lavender/purples are like 500 us dollars

All i'm trying to say is i wasn't talking about normals, i was talking about still normal colored calico's. They cost 1500,- at Filaretic, or about 2000 USD. I never mentioned 'regular' normal colored retics. I really don't see how your comment relates to what i said sorry!

[jpsteele80]

It's all good my friend, obviously a misunderstanding on my part, I think I mistook what you said

[reticsbydzine]

Im thinking when they hit about 1000 i will add one to my collection ..i think they will drop next year

[Tsubaki]

reticsbydzine, im yet to find one i like.. almost bought an adult a few years back, can't remember why i decided not to..

No problem, :) Thx.
