What do you think the prettiest snake is??

[Chris Steele]

I am just wondering what type/morph of snakes everyone things is the most brilliant or beautiful. Give me some input.

[BWSmith]

Natural colors are the most beautiful!

[Chris Steele]

then whats your favorite natural snake

[ohh_kristina]

I'm a sucker for normals, but lueicistics & patternless are interesting. Anery or axanthic morphs also make my heart melt.

edit to add: My favorite normal snakes are Green Tree Pythons, Brazilian Rainbow Boas, and Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boas. Nothing gets better than these three snakes, in my opinion. I already have a BRB and I will aquire the other two sometime next year, hopefully :D

[Chris Steele]

I actually meant like specifics.. Albino Queretaro Kingsnake for example.

edit: thanks kristina

[BWSmith]

Eastern Diamondbacks and Copperheads. And of course a soft spot for Aspidelaps. But I still very much enjoy seeing even a loley racer in the wild.

[Invictus]

I like Anery anything. :) Prettiest snake on earth is the Woma though. No question about it.

[ohh_kristina]

oh, I forgot about Womas. They are definately a treat to look at.

[Removed_2815]

Bitis gaboonica rhinoceros is hands down the most beautiful snake, in my humble opinion.
I am also a sucker for the beauty that is Agkistrodon contortrix.

I usually prefer normals, although I admit I am a sucker for anything leucistic, like leucistic Texas Rats. Albino green burms look really nice too.

[jaybox_reptiles]

DEfinatly the coper head proly broad band

[Bartman]

gtp or the white bp's, dun remember wut there called, are my 2 favourite's

[Linds]

There are so many, I can't quite put my finger on just one. Some of my favourites include most of the BC complex, several Epicrates, Scrubs, GTP, and so many more..............................

Couldn't agree more!!!

[Katt]

A really good okeetee corn snake beats any GTP, BRB, ETB.

Although, I think cave dwelling ratsnakes have a subtle beauty.

[CDN-Cresties]

Albino BP

-Steve-

[BrandonVeenstra]

Gaboon Vipers are great looking. But the Arizona Coral Snake is the most beautiful snake in my opinion.

[RachelS.]

I'd say an albino reticulated python, and all the normal localities, especially the dwarfs and sulawesi :D

[jay76]

I enjoy looking at naturals such as the Burmese python and corn snake. Can't really say that I thnik there's a "prettiest" though, but womas, BRBs, ETBs, greybanded kings (any locality), banded California kings, apricot pueblans and tangerine hondos along with the naturals are nice to look at for sure.

[daver676]

High gold jungle bp. There is a photo of one in the bp manual I believe.

[Siretsap]

jaguar jcp, damn those things are sweeeeet

[RTB 84]

The most beautiful snake... the Black Mamba... or the King Cobra.

[Thorn07]

I think the black mamba is the most beautifull so gracefull and the coloring their just so amazing!!!!

[rwg]

My favorites in no particular order:

Gaboon Viper
ETB and GTP
BRB
nicely patterned normal ball pythons

There are so may beautiful snakes though. Large King Cobras are the most awe inspiring

[Sunrunner]

I think that the Yellow Headed Retic is beautiful there shine is unbelievable!!!!!!
Well the one I have does anyhow :) and i am always wowed by the size how could it not be your favorite
I also like surinams, hoggs and BRB's
And Cant forget the DUMERILS!!!!!!!

[Ryan]

BRB's, GTP's, most Corn snake morphs are some of my favourites but an Eastern Indigo is probably my all time favourite.

[casacrow]

yellow bellied sea snake

[eyespy]

I second the vote for Okeetee corns, they are just gorgeous!

[Llipt]

Albino, Anery, Hype, Ghost, Sunglow boas and Dumerils Boas :D

[Solid Snake]

any snake that has a nice bright pattern catches my eye

i love boas (bci, bcc, etc) my favourite has got to be Emerald tree python's. Some day i'll have one. I find most appealing is ones with white stripes and zig zags on'em.

[DarkHunter]

piebald BP!!!!!!!! :)

[enso]

Thayeri of course! :D Their color and pattern variability is amazing. Some specimens are absolutely outstanding.

[ScreamingMisfit]

my above and beonde favorites are the guyana surinam and peruvian redtail boas

[reverendsterlin]

coxi probably rate tops at the moment albino kenyan a close second but too many others come in right close lol

[unBOAlievable]

Mehelya capensis of course:D

[vanderkm]

The Atheris vipers - especially the one with the eyelashes - they are so small but gorgeous - bristly scales, intricate patterns and vibrant colors produce such a dramatic package. I would never want to own one, but they are fabulous to look at. Matt posted a photo of his yellow one a while back and it is unforgettable.

For a morph to own - definately tangerine albino honduran milksnake - those with the wide red bands top my wanted list.

[emroul]

It's hard to choose just ONE of the many, many snakes I think are beautiful. But I think all in all, I am quite the sucker for the Crotalus Tigris

Take care,
Jennifer

[burmer]

IMO normal retics are beautiful.

[Tim and Julie B]

A Malaysion Pope's tree viper (Trimeresurus p. popeorum) Or a Waglers Tree viper. There is no better looking snake in the world then some of the Asian Tree vipers. TB

[ohh_kristina]

To add to my list: the african bush viper. I am in love with these little guys.

[snakehunter]

all snakes are my favorite, i fall in love with each and every one i see! but of course i have to give a shout out to Farkus my bp, she is gorgeous!

[Kara]

I love piebald bps!!!!!!!!!!!! One day I will have one......
Also Green tree's are amazing, I love all the colors:)

[Tim and Julie B]

Definately the eyelash viper! Such a beautiful pattern and color. I would never in a billion years keep them, but I love them none the less!:D

[Mr.Lizard]

Retics are my absolute favorite,they're beautiful.
Runners up would be rhinoceros viper,Gaboon viper,eyelash viper and anacondas.

[reverendsterlin]

[Phox]

There are so many great looking snakes but i would have to say my favorite is an.......

ETB

[NewLineReptile]

So many come to mind but i would say that the Yellow head Retic would be my choice

Brandon

[Weather1]

Anything that is Naturally occuring. If it happens in the wild then it is ment to be, and they are all pretty in there own special way.

[Yness]

Weather1..naturally occurring snakes of course...i have to go with a brb...maybe and indigo snake...however as for bred snakes Snow pythons take the cake for me

[Frankie]

I would have to say Dumerils, but I might be a little biased.:p http://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/data/500/1253mvc-021f.jpg

[cantil]

The two most beautiful snakes in the world are...

Mangshens pit vipers (ermia mangshenensis)

and

red headed kraits

but then again those just top my list of about 1000 "most beautiful snakes"

[bob_thesnowman]

i have two favorites,the green tree python is an awesome looker,and i think my creamsickle cornsnake is very nice as well
