Favorite hot (venomous)

Sorry if this threads been done before!! But whats everyone's favorite hot, Whether you keep them or lay in bed at night dreaming about them. Mine is either Gabby's (Gaboon viper) or WBD (Western diamond back) So whats yours?

For genus: Acanthophis and Naja

For species: Acanthophis wellsi and Naja samarensis

I have examples of the genus in my collection but not the species unfortunately.

I don't keep hots so the ones I like best are just visually appealing to me. I'm sure these would change if I kept venomous but today here are some of my favorites from a few families:

Dispholidus typus - colubridae
Crotalus adamanteus - viperidae
Atheris hispida - viperidae
Ophiophagus hannah - elapidae
Helodermatidae (pretty much all of em but if my arm was twisted H. s. cinctum would bear near the top)

If I ever were to keep venomous I'd almost certainly have an eastern diamondback and gila.

Gila's, Naja's and Crotalus's are just awesome. Would love a Naja Nivea and a King!

My little hognose, because he's just cute. :D

Well my little boiga is nice, When she's not striking out at your face :O

I have 5

1) Bitis gabonica
2) Bitis arietans
3) Bitis paraviocula
4) Naja kaouthia
5) Crotalus atrox

Well, I've been dreaming a lot about Mambas recently for unknown reasons so maybe them. :P

But nah, the list of ones I like just because I think they look cool;
- Gaboon Viper
- Yellow-bellied Sea Snake
- Electric Blue Malaysian Coral Snake
- European Adder
- Mangshan Pitviper

And I think if I ever were to actually consider getting something front fanged venomous, I'd be very inclined to got with a Pigmy Rattler because they're just cute as a button.

Your right :P. Bitis have to be my favorite hot family :) You just can't go wrong (unless you get bit :()

Death adders and monoculed cobras i like king cobras as well but even if i moved to a state that allowed Hots and i had years of experience i dont think i would be able to handle caring for a king cobra


Ps sorry i dont do latin names unless it involves Ts
