Re: Best Display Snake
Something diurnal mate and a colubrid would be your best bet for a display snake in the office.

LOL yeah that's always my first thought being a giant lover, but seriously if were talking a display snake you cant beat a big retic or burm, big snakes always fascinate most people and its a big attention grabber. If no room for something that big i think ETB's or GTP's make awesome display animals.

Re: Best Display Snake
I think a bull or gopher snake would fit the bill as well.

Re: Best Display Snake
Something in the colubrid family for sure. Generally diurnal, active, don't require as specific of husbandry. I love beauty snakes for this reason but they can get quite large for a rat snake, 8-10'. Probably a North American species as mentioned already. They fit the bill, don't cost much, and they can even educate people about local wildlife.

Re: Best Display Snake
If you don't want another garter (and why NOT, they are great display snakes!) then yeah, maybe a rat snake.
Something that likes to prowl during the day, I'd think.

Re: Best Display Snake
Snakes are not happy is sad they have no emotions they live by instinct alone
If you meet the needs they thrive if you don't they don't
What I consider in choosing a display animal is how nervous the snake is right now I have a Mojave rattler than feeds and has never shown any signs of beeing
Stressed out

Re: Best Display Snake
My Cal King is always active, and being a desert phase the striking black / white is very pleasing to the eye.

Re: Best Display Snake
The best display snakes i have ever owned (besides retics), were beauty rat snakes by far. Always climbing around, hanging out on branches. Very curious and watch anything that walks by, and they look very nice as well.

I have a Albino Cal King. She stays borrowed all the time. She in my office so I keep an eye on her for about 8-9 hours a day. She only comes out once or twice a day and just for a couple minutes.

i would go for something that was a bit more hardy and easier to keep than a GTP.....
i would go for a carpet python...
easy to keep,hardy species,great feeding responses
they come in all sorts of colours and patterns
a calm carpet will be ok getting handled
a 4x2x2ft vivarium will do most carpets their whole lives (20 to 30 years)
cheers shaun

I like the Carpets. Read a lot of mix reviews about their temperament. But that goes with an species of snake...I have read a lot of Carpets being on the next snake list.
