    Your favorite (temperament) snake
    Who in your collection is your favorite, based on temperament/personality rather than looks?
    They can certainly be gorgeous as well, it's just a bonus. ;)

    I have several, but here is Wango, my pastel calico.

    Going into shed here:

    He's awesome for a few reasons:
    - He's EXTREMELY chill. Seriously, this snake doesn't give half a poop.
    - He's very social. I jokingly call him my "display ball python". Most of my BP's are in a rack, but he's in a glass tank, with no hide besides a tube and some plants. Because he likes it that way - he's an oddball.
    - He's one of my best eaters, tied with my boas for consistency and enthusiasm.
    - When you pick him up, he's incredibly limp. He trusts us completely to not let him just plop on the floor.

    I held him like this just for a second to get a picture and show how limp he is.

    Who's your favorite and why?

    Cake has my favorite temperament. :P He is chill, but not a completely nonchalant pet rock like Vigil (Dumeril's Boa) is. Cake is more inquisitive, poking me with his snoot and distinctly looking around at things/flicking his tongue at everything around him. He is calm and slow moving.

    I also think of him as my "display/show my friends" snake, because he is particularly cute to hold and watch in the way he acts, but not fearful or freaky. When I pick him out of his tub and plop him in my hand, he stays in that plopped position.

    My dumeril's boa is more a pet rock than my ball pythons. I take her out, and she literally falls asleep on my lap or otherwise does not move a muscle for the next ~forever~ until I pick her up myself or move my body drastically. She just rests her head and sleeps immediately. Crazy.

    Of my Burmese and my BP. Id have to go with my burm who is MUCH more inquisitive than my pastel. Love his temperament, he hisses and lets me know when i'm doing something he does not like or i when walk somewhere and he doesn't want to go near where i am walking towards he will hiss and let me know:):). Very vocal animal. Love him for that.
