What's your favourite from each. You don't have to own the species. Mines has to be Mexican black king snake, red tail boa, and Burmese python.

Hmm, I have a problem, I love a lot of colubrids... so it will be corn snake/russian rat snake/hognose, then BCI, and then ball python :D

eastern indigo, bcc, boelen's python
Ask me tomorrow, and I'll probably tell you something different.

Haha, you know, I'm realy glad that I'm having this state over. Now most of the snakes are niiiice, but I don't want them in my home, I'm cool with just looking at them on pics.
But easterns are one of the "I'm not so sure, I never owned them, but they seem to be sooo great", haha!

Honestly there are too many to choose from. Colubrids, probably radiated rat snakes or cave dwelling rat snakes, boas maybe pearl island boas and viper boas, pythons...that ones tough...Probably white lipped pythons, retics, olives and water pythons. Way too many to pick...

pine snakes, silver back Bolivians, jungle carpets
There are a lot of really close contenders, though.

Colubrid would probably be either indigos or cribos, boas would be any and all boa constrictors, and pythons I'd definitely have to say reticulated pythons.

Ball pythons, garter snakes, kingsnakes. Definitely in that order. Bp's bc of their secretive lifestyle and garters bc they are the opposite of the balls in lifestyle and activity. Kings bc they keep the venomous populations in control in a very natural , normal food chain type of way.
Grey Banded King / BCI / Carpet Pythons

Another favorite would be northern eyelash boas...also blue racers and speckled racers...
Im boring
cornsnake, common boa, ball python..Theres a reason they are so popular, because they are awesome.
You're not boring, just classic ;) not to mention those are some of the most colorful snakes with all those morphs available.

1. No colubrids (not into it, but might find a cool one some day)
2. Surinam redtail for sure
3. No way i can have a favorite here with the awesome burmese, retics, green treepythons, carpets, olives, afrocks, ... (pfff, i like them too much with not enough space for all :( :( :( )

Green tree snake, can't own a boa here, and toss up between MD or Gammon Ranges.

Sounds like you prefer heavy-bodied snakes. Not all colubrids are shoelaces ;) Maybe you'd like Drymarchon, Orthriophis, or some of the larger Pituophis species?

Can I count the drymarchon genus as my favorite colubrids? Them or one of the obscure false cobras. As for boas.... Green anaconda hands down, and pythons.... Well there's no substitute for a retic.

Mine changes daily, usually its idigo or cribo, emerald tree boa or amazon tree boa, and for python its olive or timor

Ridley's Cave Racer, Woma Python, and Round Island Boa. I love all three, but it's unfortunate that I'll probably not be able to have any of em. Gorgeous animals
