lets see whats rare out there
If youve got something unique lets see it. Not looking for morphs here (as much as there are many rare and unique morphs). Lets show off some of our rare species we dont all see in every pet store and expo. I think my beakies are my most obscure species. Lets see what else is out there and let us know why they're rare in the hobby.
I believe the rufous beaked snakes are rare due to the fact I havent heard of any successful captive breeding.

Re: lets see whats rare out there
I have a pair of timor pythons and an aussie water python. Not the rarest but not exactly common. I don't have any pictures available on my work computer.

Re: lets see whats rare out there
OP, are you talking about rare as a species or rare in the pet trade?

SUPER jealous of this beauty. I'm in the same boat as Chris, though. Kentucky bans all venomous and rear-fanged venomous(aside from the Hognose) as pets. Otherwise I have a nice list of rear-fanged hots I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. If there weren't laws against them, I'd have a Mangrove snake, Green Vine Snake, and False Water Cobras.
Now, these ones I'm not so sure whether they're in the pet trade or not, and, if so, how common or uncommon they are, but I think they're really gorgeous and would love to have one. The Green and Red varieties of Keelback Snakes, Boomslangs, and the Regal Ring-necked Snake(REALLY love this one).
There are MANY hots that I really love that aren't rear-fanged, so best not list 'em all. I am a huge fan of vipers, however, I just know they have a wicked fast strike.
I do agree, though, I'd like to see more rare non-venomous.

Re: lets see whats rare out there
Aren't keelbacks non-venomous, but poisonous? Or are they venemous, too? I for some reason had the impression that without eating the cane toads, they eventually have no poison left in their bodies... though admittedly I know barely anything about these guys.

I thought they were both. A poisonous patch on the back of their 'neck', and then rear-fanged venomous like hoggies and mangroves. I'll admit to not knowing a whole lot about 'em, though.

Red Necked Keelbacks are rear fang, highly venomous to humans if they get a chewing bite.
