Nasty snakes?

What kinds of colubrids are known for having a nasty temper? I was thinking about getting a snake that's known for aggression, not necessarily to train for hots, but for the fun of having a snake that's a handful.

Re: Nasty snakes?

My bull snakes have quite a temper. They do calm right down once handling though.

Re: Nasty snakes?

What kinds of Asian rat snakes are known for being aggressive? I was thinking about a King rat, or maybe a Porph. What I want, really, is the fun and challenge of having a psychotic snake and trying to tame it.

Red tailed green rats, and Taiwan beauty snakes... find a breeder and ask them for an unsellable psycho... they should just give them to you.

Re: Nasty snakes?

Hmm... I've held quite a few Taiwan and Vietnamese beauties that were totally tame and enjoyed handling... maybe I've just encountered the rare nice ones??

Re: Nasty snakes?

What are King ratsnakes like in terms of temperament? What about bamboo ratsnakes?

Re: Nasty snakes?

How big do King rats typically get? Could you point me out to a good care sheet?

Re: Nasty snakes?

My recommendation for something fun, challenging, and psychotic is to find a woman. You'll always have a handful. Like my uncle always said " There are two types of women in this world. The pretty ones and the sane ones. Always pick the sane ones."........... Just sayin'
