Favorite snake

[JimmyDavid]

This question is hardly original in a reptile forum, but still i wanna know. What is your favorite snake species? And what makes it so great, for you?

[Darren179]

I like emeralds and the epicrates

[BWSmith]

one that eats for me. ;)

[bighillreptiles]

all of tham lol paul

[Bartman]

JCP's, GTP's, ETB's

and ball pythons that eat!

[Brent Strande]

Morelia... my JCPs and GTP

[treegirl]

I don't have one but I think the Brazilian Boas are exquisite.

I have an okeetee young male corn who's wonderful.

Ball Pythons are also lovely.

[Samba]

My tastes vary from those that I've kept and those I haven't kept...

From those I've kept I'd say western hognosed snakes and burmese pythons;

and ones I haven't kept, but think are wonderful, are brazilian boas, as Dawnell mentioned, (they have fabulous colours) and eyelash vipers. I am also very, very in love with Gaboons. Beautiful, stocky, different-looking snakes. I'd love to own one someday...

As for why... hognosed snakes are just plain cute... they are also personable and nice handle. They can be difficult feeders, though...

Burmese pythons, from my experience, are extremely docile, handlable, and hardy snakes. They are a lot of fun to have as pets, but it also takes a lot of work to care for, and maintain them. I find mine is quite friendly and curious, which makes having him that much more enjoyable. They aren't for everyone, though...

[treegirl]

Samba--

How large is your Burmese?

[JimmyDavid]

Forgot to say that i like boelens, anacondas and retics. Also gaboons and cobras though i don't keep those.
Retics are number one, because they are quite a challenge to raise, but amazing when full grown.

[Samba]

Dawnell, Bandula is about 14 feet long and spoiled rotten! I couldn't ask for a better pet, he's a total pussycat! =)

[treegirl]

wow!! 14 feet! what do you keep him in?

[thunder]

my favorite species are gabbys and rhino vipers, altho i dont keep them.

of the ones i do keep, i really like my argentine boa constrictor. he's really different looking.

[hooter]

Irian Jayas, Blood Pythons, and Brazilian Rainbow Boas have got to be my top 3 :)

[capsicum]

I love spotted pythons, balls that eat (lol), and lots of others that I just haven't gotten yet ;)

[Darren179]

[Leviathan]

Trimeresurus Gumprechti, Angolans, Boelini, Ball pythons, Jaguar Caprets, Miss Pinkie (my hog island boa).... ya I'll just stop there. I don't think I have a favourite lol.

[bubba]

Indigos, Piebald Ball pythons

[Samba]

Dawnell.... He now resides in a large walk-in closet that I've set up for him temporarily. (I'm having a cage built, but it's taking forever!!). He loves to hang out on the top shelves, and there's plenty of room for him to stretch out and check stuff out. He has a basking light in the top over one shelf, and a heat mat on the bottom, under one of those big dog beds (like they sell at petstores and stuff). I would like to put up one of those automatic misting systems in there sometime, but for now, it's all manual! =D

[treegirl]

That's pretty impressive. ;)

[paul vader]

Emmys...one day I'll own one...lol...

[corn king 73]

rainbow boa's lol and spider ball pythons.

[Ptindy]

Balls, carpets, and GTP's...don't have a GTP yet, waiting till I get some more experience in ready snake signals and more money..Also, cresties and Uroplatus even though they aren't snakes. Just as cool

[dyzoo]

I lovew my new ball python although i really wish that it would eat already!!!

[proud2bcanadian]

BP's, ETB's, GTP's, and BRB's.

[Big_V]

Well favorite non venomous would be retics, GTP's and black bloods.
Venomous id say albino monocaled cobras, gaboons and diamonbacks.

[vanderkm]

Tangerine albino honduran milksnake - without a doubt.

[Colonel_SB]

For me nothing is better then Morelia spilota spilota, I dono thier colours thire body shape they are just orgasmic :)

[daver676]

I love it when someone posts a thread like favourite snake, and everyone posts like 10 different snakes that they like. lol I didn't see an 'S' in there! ;)

My favourite snake is my ball python Sophia (see avatar). :cool:

[CamHanna]

I like pretty much anything native, especially fox snakes (though they're illegal). I love the western ssp's of sirtalis, especially the Oregon red-spotted garter... from books I really like narrow-headed gartes though I've never seen one. Salt Marsh Snakes are really cool as well.

My #1 aspirational snake has to be the mangrove, though the thought of a bite bothers me a bit.

Right now I have a mud snake and they are one of the most interesting snakes around... I'll just have to wait and see if it becomes my favorite.

[JimmyDavid]

hehe, good point Daver676, but i had some fault myself. I threw in at least 3 or 4 species. I guess it's hard to stick to only one...

[BellyDraggers]

I would have to say my favorite snakes are the Anacondas both greens and yellows. We have worked with them for years and Can't say why but they just turn my crank. LOL

[crazy4reptiles]

Ball Pythons, Carpet Pythons, Indonesian Tree Boas, ETB,BRB....

[ChokeOnSmoke]

My favorite is probably a Retic. I've never owned one and I doubt I ever will but their pattern and colors are amazing.

For venemous I would say waglers, eyelash and gaboons are all impressive looking.

[retic]

My favorite is most definately my Jungle Carpet Pythons with awesome bright yellows and Green Tree Pythons with nice greens and yellows and turquoise colors which i would love to get one day

[Curaniel]

Gotta show some love for the Sumatra red blood python. Favorite venomous is tie between Gaboon vipers and copperheads. Favorite colubrid...bloodred corn. ^..^

[Kevin McRae]

ATB's, pueblan milksnakes and albino hondos:)

[snakegal12345]

Angolan and green tree python s. Both have beautiful colours.

[WRX]

BRB's. Funny as youngsters, and beautifull as adults. Gentle, curious, and the whole resting on there side thing kills me!

BT

[Katt]

Leucy tx rat. If all my snakes had to go and I had to work with just one species. Leucy tx rats would be it.

[RepTylE]

Ask me which snakes I don't like.....it's a much shorter list :)
