What is the Best Snake???

What is the best snake and why??

[rwg]

The best snake is whichever snake you like the best. For me right now, it's bull snakes: Impressive size (for a colubrid). Really neat attitude. Beautiful color and pattern. great feeding response. Strong and active during handling.

Ask me next week, and I might say something different. Some of my other favorites: gaboon viper, bredl's python, green tree python. None of which I'm likely to ever own. :)

Yeah there is no "best snake" It's the snake you personally like the most.

That is a very generalized question and virtually impossible to answer. What exactly are you asking? What is the best snake to keep? Or what is your favorite/best looking snake?

If your talking about housing a snake, it depends on your own requirements and how experienced you are. A gaboon would definately be a terrible idea, or a burmese. Well...anything that goes beyond 7 feet or poisonous shouldn't be considered "the best snake". UNLESS you have the experience, then it's a whole different story.

For a starter, Corn Snakes would be my pick. They are cheap, incredibly tolerable, easy to handle, easy to maintain and super colorful. If that was the question you were asking, i hope i helped.

If that was not the question, my favorite/best looking snake in my opinion would be GTP's, Eyelash vipers and Black Blood Pythons. I think that those are the most beautiful snakes in the planet.

My snakes!!! LOL, I'm sure everyone thinks that.

[munchie321]

I mean for looks

[drewlowe]

That's in the eye of the beholder. LOL

My very favorite snake for looks would have to be an ETB (basins), hands down.

I just have to say Anacondas don't know why but they are just my all time Favorite. LOL

best snake for looks? Well i'm partial to eyelash vipers, king cobras and gaboons are impressive too.

are you looking for a beginner snake that looks good or just anysnake?

[norman]

I love the way Retics look. BRBs are incredibly beautiful. Emeralds are amazing... There's to many that are all very unique in their beauty....I dunno, man..............

[jjnnbns]

I love Jungle Carpet Pythons! They are beautiful with the bright yellow, and I just got my pair today!! They are beautiful

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

MUNCHIE321:

I like all, but boas and pythons got me pretty good and its still pretty hard to decide but if I break it into a few sets it be easier after.

Emerald Tree Boas - super interesting boa, complicated but yet simple, a true gem in a boa collection for the experienced (for so many reasons), loads of locals and families to choose from.

Green Tree Pythons - everything as Emeralds.

Boa Morphs - everything from anery to salmon, sunglows to snows.

Like I said it be hard, but my favorite is all cause they all have a reason to me, but over all - Moses our Snow Boa.

Cya...

wow..its hard to narrow it down to one....if I had to choose from the ones I keep it would be the short tail sumatran....ones I don't keep...it could be the gaboon....I really like the stalky ones...they're just different than what I'm used to seeing..which is usually skinny wired garter snakes in the wild..lol

[JimmyDavid]

What else can i say...RachelS. said it all!
now really, it depends. I like Gaboons very much. Also african rocks and many others...

But it's easy to get impressed by a retic. WOW!

[Mike177]
