Highly keeled scaled snakes
I have always loved the way harry bush vipers look. It as close to owning your own personal miniature dragon as one can get in my opinion. But I will never keep a venomous animal in home out of concern for my wife and dog children. Recently I discovered the Trachyboa genus or eyelash boa as they are commonly named. After doing a bit of research it does not appear that they exist in the hobby or are just impossible to locate. Also they are tiny little snakes, which is not ideal in my mind. Does any one know of any other non venomous highly keel scaled snakes available in the hobby? I have seen file snakes and am not a fan.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
Water Snakes (Nerodia) seem to be about as heavily keeled as nonvenomous snakes come, particularly Diamondbacks. Western Hogs and Garters are pretty heavily keeled as well. I've never handled one but Rough Scaled Sand Boas look to have their name for a reason. Cape Files and Dragons Snakes are out there but not easy to get or keep.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
You might also want to look at File Snakes as they have rather pronounced scales and are readily available for very reasonable prices.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
Garters and bull snakes come to mind.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
Thanks everyone for the input but I think I was looking for extreme keels. Animals that look similar to a bush viper or Trachyboa. There is a distinct possibility that the answer is just that there is not. On a side note I was definitely confusing dragon snakes and file snakes.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
Solomon Island Ground Boa looks similar to that Trachyboa that comes up in google image.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
Viper boa maybe? Hear they have a nasty attitude, though.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
I don't know what there is not to like with the file snake. This is mine. I love it. One of my favorites in my collection and the most keeled nonvenomous I can think of.

Re: Highly keeled scaled snakes
I think they're fairly small, and not sure how popular they are in captivity
