I don't keep them but I have always found tri colored and certain eastern hog noses more interesting than westerns. In my opinion one of the most beautiful North American snakes are the buttermilk racers. You very rarely hear of anyone keeping them.

I was going to mention Corals or Ring Necks but Jerry and Jrich beat me to it. What about Lyres Snakes? Not commonly kept, but beautiful. Also rear fanged venomous with very mild venom. Found a juvenile last weekend herping around Green Valley, AZ. Despite the picture, they are extremely well mannered and have excellent temperaments.

Lyresnakes would be awesome too. They're near looking and would be an interesting addition.

I agree, couldn't tell ya how bad I wanted to take that juve home last week. Probably would have if I had a spare viv.
