Best Display Snake
I have my Garter and King in my office right now but they are about to go home with me. I was thinking about putting one in my lobby for my customers to see when they come in.
In y'alls option what is the best display snake? Color, doesn't mind/likes to be handled. I'm sure my customers will want to get him out. I would prefer to go with a substrate besides Aspen so they are not borrowed and can be seen easier.

Re: Best Display Snake
I have always thought the green tree pythons look really cool, from the pics I have seen it seems they are right at home just hanging on a stick in the enclosure. Not sure if they like to hide a lot or not? Might be fun to research them a bit and see if one would work out for you!

Re: Best Display Snake
What do you do? The snake in the lobby might freak some people out which could result in you losing customers.

Re: Best Display Snake
I love the Green Trees. I haven't stepped up to the boas or pythons yet. Just now starting to research them. Lots to learn about them.

It's not retail. More construction based business. The owner is scared to death of snakes, but loves to come check out my Garter and King. There is a 0% chance of losing a customer from having a snake in the lobby.

Re: Best Display Snake
A north american rat snake would make a great display snake. My grey rat snake is quite interesting as he's active during the day and always climbing around.

I'm with you, or a nice Burm. I guess that's what the guys who like the giants always think of first. But we are all snake lovers, what does the average person who doesn't keep snakes think? Do they necessarily care what kind of snake is being displayed? I know we all would.

They don't. That's why I also asked about substrate. My Cal King borrows a lot, was thinking something on a Bark? But want him to be happy with hides, but easy to find.

It's not amazing, but he seems to enjoy it. It's important to note that they can get 4-7 feet and will utilize a large cage. My guy is only in a 20 gallon at the moment, but I'm looking into getting something in the range of 4'x3'x3' in the future.

Re: Best Display Snake
I've always wanted to do a cool Bioactive setup with a rough green snake.
The drymarchon are active.
