    Best display animal, give me your idea

    I love all snakes, and I want to show them off. Getting to the point, I am intensely interested in getting the "natural living" vivarium up and running at some point.

    I want an animal that is of course going to be around to see.

    GTP, ETB, water snakes, etc... What would you like to see in a really cool natural set up. It could be a desert scene, jungle, forest. I keep coming back to the GTP because I would LOVE a canary, and that against a deep forest scene, kick a$$. (plus they wouldnt trample my plants)

    Holla back.

    Snakes have blood, feal fear, breathe air, eat food, drink water, reproduce, and they happen to live in a body which is difficult for the average person to understand. One fears what one doesn't understand. ignorance creates fear. The fear of snakes is not cultivated…we are not born with it…children love snakes, just as naturally as they love dogs and cats. don’t be afraid of a reptile’s tongue…the only animal that can hurt you with its tongue is the human being.

    Scrubs
    Huge, highly variable, and a fairly active species

    Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

    The various carpet pythons are a good bet. They're semi-arboreal, beautiful, affordable, and most are docile adults.

    I have a HUGE leaning towards the rainbows, because they like to swim, they are semi arboreal, and they are just beautiful to look at....

    Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

    Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?

    Might be a dumb question, but what is a canary (isnt it a bird??)... google doesnt seem to be helping me with this one! lol
    Is it like a tall, long enclosure??
