Cutest species of snakes

[cristacake]

So I really don't know a lot about snakes yet other than what I've learned from here about BPs and, to a small extent, some other constrictors.

I'd like to learn about more species of snakes but there are just so many! So, in an attempt to narrow down the number of possible species to learn about, I thought maybe focusing on a broad trait might be a good way to start.

I chose cuteness because it's a substantial part of what drew me to snakes in the first place. I thought Brazilian Rainbows were so cute and sweet looking (as well as gorgeous but I don't think "beautiful snakes" would narrow anything down at all), but when I learned about the high maintenance they require to keep, I looked to BPs as my first snake. Seeing their puppy faces and little periscopes totally sold me on them.

So, maybe list your favorite "cute" snakes or just your top favorite one?



Pictures of your snakes being cute are definitely allowed/encouraged

Immense size aside, I actually think anacondas have cute faces. ...something to do with the eyes more towards the top of the head?

Sand boas also qualify as cute.

Ribbon Snakes and Baby Trans pecos Rat Snakes.

Hognose hands down.

Cutest picture I've seen was on TRR of a young boa biting his owners elbow. Heart melting pictures. Awh. Can't find it again though to share.

Prolly a Rufous Beaked Snake ...pretty cute

[Penultimate]

I agree with rufous beaked snake. They're adorable! If they weren't rear-fanged venomous, I would get one. In terms of species that are possible to keep without worrying about venom, I like Taiwanese beauty snakes and leucistic Texas rats. The Taiwanese beauty snakes have a really cool eye stripe and the leucistic Texas rats just look so... innocent. Especially the bug eyed ones.

Baby green tree pythons cx

I'd say Royals were the cutest by some way ...their beautiful faces / head shape ... No fan of the extreme faded / washed out ones , though .

Albino Royals rule !!

If we're talking baby snakes .... has to be hatchling LTRs ...
