What is the most beautiful snake in the world? (DUW)

OK, folks, what do you think is the most beautiful snake in the world? Please add photos/videos (or links to) to bolster your opinion. I can't wait to see them all!

IMHO, I think the award probably goes to the Rhinoceros Viper.

Too bad he's venomous, or he'd be on my list!

Favorite beside Ball Pythons would be (sorry I can’t go with just one)

Ditto, I think the gaboon viper is gorgeous!

I love Rhinos and also GTPs. There are a lot of beautiful venomous snakes out there...

Hands down... The Freak!!!:rofl:

I can really decide its between green anacondas and retics and the vemoid would be a black mamba

I'm with you on that one. It's like keeping only one snake - impossible!

Great links! The Gaboon is a close to the Rhino Viper - the Rhino's just more colorful. So unreal to me. A fantasy snake.

Its super hard to choose just one snake, so here are my votes

Non-venomous

Rhino Ratsnakes

Venomous
