Re: Most beautiful pet snake you've seen
I have a motley sunglow corn snake which is stunning. Other awesome corns (in my opinion) involve the coral or salmon gene. My faves are the coral ghosts personally if you dont mind a pink snake. Im also big on lavenders. Tesseras fall into the higher end.of your price range. vmsherps.com has some beautiful tessera corns for sale. and coral ghosts (they call them strawberry.anerys)
You might also look at hybrids. Jungle corns (cali king x corn snake) come in various patterns and colors depending on what morphs are used in the mix. Ive some cool milksnake crosses too.
I am not big on kings. Deserts have fantastic.temperments and I havent ever had one musk on me. There is a varigated or variable king in a local pet shop here that seems so exotic to me. she lacks all normal kingsnake colors (as far as kingsnakes i have seen) she is toffee brown with red banding going across her back.
Rosy and sand boas are good choices outside of the colubrids. Good temperments and they dont get too big. Sands are often the prettier of the two (especially anery sand boas) but they like to hide a lot. I work at a petsmart and our rosy boa has the best temperment.
You may look into hognoses though they are mildly venemous. They are gaining huge popularity in the pet trade because of their awesome temperments and new colorations are also becoming available. Just a suggestion.
