Snake Personality

For those keeping multiple species, what species of snake do you think shows the most "personality"?

For those who feel compelled to describe the lymbic brain of reptiles and the lack of emotion, etc., yeah, we all get that. This is just a fun question.

Thanks all,

probly adrian, my BCI

Sprocket had the most personality of any snake i've kept so far. She was a 6ft BCI, and was a joy. Homer, my baby BCI, had just as much personality.

I have a BCI and 3 Bp's. I would say that my BCI has the most "personality", then on down the line, Hershey, my youngest bp, then Joe, my next oldest, and then Betty my oldest. I can definately tell they are all different in "personality". And then there is my daughters cali king.

Tough one. Most of my snakes have a bit of personality in their own way, but the one that sticks out the most is my Cal King - she does impressions of rattlesnakes and cobras.

My BP, Cupid has the most personality. Mosi, is what I call a "hider" and he just stays in his hide almost ALL of the time. btut cupid is always out and about.

My blackheaded pythons - they're both big goofballs, and also snugglebugs.

Blood & short-tail pythons - just oodles of personality, and every single one is an individual. I can pick out each one of my bloods via personality alone...they all have their little quirks & ways of talking to you.

Retics - just so friggin' smart, and that "eat first, and ask questions later" mentality keeps you on your toes. Plus they seem kinda apologetic when they realize you're not food...like, sorry mom.

King cobra - probably the smartest snake I've dealt with. She knows she's a little whoopass girl & isn't afraid of anything, but doesn't go smashing her face against the cage like some overstimulated cobras will. She's also very, very calm for an elapid.

Wow Kara, I couldn't have imagined cobras entering the discussion! Thanks for bringing a whole different level of experience to the thread.

Apologetic retics - what a concept. Oops, was that your arm I was swallowing? :)
