I know you are trying to help but really the answer is: I'll know it when I see it. I think there is a tendency for me to like anything that is very brightly colored. Also stuff with ornate or changing patterning such as (obviously) a blue beauty or a radiated ratsnake. That being said however I just looking for some bell to go off as it did with with my beauty snake. Once I became aware of those, I knew I had to have one. As mentioned above, currently I'm kind of in love with womas which when it come down to it, are fairly plain.
Care is not
too important but within limits. A slightly different temperature or humidity than normal is one thing, a snake that would need a 20 sq. ft. enclosure maintained at exactly 73.6% humidity at all times and only eats Indian purple frogs named James is quite another. Same with size, again obviously the beauty snake could potentially become quite large and I'm prepared for it but I'm not really expecting more than 8 ft. max. In general I think 5-6 ft. is a good rough guide, I'm not gonna get anything huge like a retic or an anaconda, but if I fall inlove with something I'm fairly open. I really love tiger rat snakes, but I think I've read they can get up to like 14-15 ft. sometimes. That is too big but like I said in general I'm just looking for something that makes those alarms go off and at that point I'll figure out if I can accommodate it.
Thanks for the extensive list.
