Types of snakes being kept!

Well I'm probably beating a dead horse by asking this, but I was curious as to what types of snakes everybody is keeping on this site? Which are more popular - boas or pythons, and what kinds? Being new to this site, I haven't had the chance to scour all four cornors of this forum yet!

Well I made some changes today and traded in my albino python and blood python for store credit and a few extra snakes to give me the following line-up now:

1 - corn snake (juvenile)
1 - red tail boa (juvenile)
1 - Kenyan sand boa (juvenile)
1 - Pueblan milk snake (juvenile)
1 - ball python (juvenile)
1 - ball python
3 - red belly piranhas
1 - Chinese water dragon

Re: Types of snakes being kept!

Hello, and welcome in case I missed your intro. thread.

I am from Minnesota and I have:

1 BCI
2 Corn snakes
2 Eastern Ribbon Snakes

and our newest addition is a Jungle x Coastal Carpet

I really like the boids personally. But I can see how people can get addicted to the carpets.

Had a ball up till a month and half ago. Gave him to a kid who was wanting to move up from cornsnakes to pythons. Which left me with a empty cage and my birthday was around the corner. That now filled with a yellow anaconda. banana.gif th_avatar1650_6.gif
