what are some of the more active snakes

[Juicepilly]

Currently have 2 adult ball's and of course they don't do much. they are great though. looking to get some more different species of snakes. Nothing that will get over 6 feet, maybe a tad more. looking at GTP's, carpets, BRBs, and bloods. I know the blood will not do much but I still want one. just want something I can see that doesn't hide ALL the time. Please list some that are more vision friendly, from your experiences.

Carpet pythons, macklott's pythons, retics, rat snakes, corns, kings... there are lots out there. It just depends on what you are looking for in a snake.

Corns and Kings are very active snakes (I never owned either but I've seen them "in snake"). You should give those a try. From my own experiences Garters are pretty active too.

Thanks, I mean I don't necessarily mean that it always has to be active. Just something that I can actually see that doesn't always hide.

You all forgot the most important addition!!!

BOAS!

Lol, very curious little buggers, always checking out everything, very rarely hiding... and they come in colors to match everyone's personality

I mentioned BRB's but I don't know which others ones are nice that don't get over 6' feet. Want a red tail but not now.

You might check out some of the dwarf species---the island species tend to stay fairly small, beneath the 6' mark.

Take a look at this website: http://riobravoreptiles.com/boas_island.htm

Gus is one of the leading authorities of locality boas out there.

Another excellent place to check out boa localities---and boa that stay smaller---is: http://www.cuttingedgeherp.com/boaco...torlongicauda/

There are many, many different sub species out that that stay below the 6' mark, and are still curious, beautiful animals.


But what can I say? I'm biased...

What about blue beauties?! Any Beauties in my opinion. Diurnal beautiful animals.

That is what I had in mind when I mentioned rat snakes. They're definately active.

Racers and Coachwhips. WC adults aren't going to be much for friendly, but if you could find someone selling hatchlings, such as Glades herps, you'd be all set! They aren't as thick bodied, and they are VERY intelligent. They're really vision based snakes as well.
