:D I wanted some of you to look those up ;) ....especially the first two :D Some of the coolest snakes out there IMO :D I just have to find someone that keeps the first one.....and save up $5000 for a pair of the second ;)

Ohhhh...to just choose five? That'd be hard to do, but I'll try. And these, of course, are in addition to ball pythons and their various morphs...and in no particular order...


1. A variety of Asian Ratsnakes (does that count as one? LOL)
2. Burmese Python
3. Olive Python
4. Suriname BCC
5. Green Tree Python

And there are others....I'm just nuts about snakes!

1. Burm
2. Golden Child
3. RTB
4. Homozy Clowns that were super cut clean
5. Cinny Clowns that follow above rules.

1.0 Albino Bp
1.0 Piedbald Bp
0.1 Spider Bp
1.0 Super pastel Bp
0.0 Bumble bee Bp
I guess for me it's all about the Bp's , I do like Burm's but they get way to big. One more I'd like to add is a blue eyed lucy.

My very favorite snake of all is..

1: morelia boeleni (boelen's python) I will have some one day.
2: python reticulatus - . I love the albinos as well as ther sunfires.. don't have the room or experience now, but some day I will.
3: eunectes murinus - green anaconda. Again no room, I love keeping the yellow anacondas, and some day will move up to the greens.
4: python timoriensis - beautiful rare pythons. Too big and too expensive for now, but someday. :)
5: sanzinia madagascariensis - madagascar tree boa. Again size and expense limits me now, but I will own some one day.

I do not ever plan to keep a hot in my home, but if my dream comes true and I open a zoo, I will have many hots in it. :)

Oh Daniel, what is the common name of your mountain ratsnake that you want? On my list I have elaphe porphyracea porphyracea and elaphe porphyracea coxi, which are quite similar to the one on your list.

I can't beleive there is not a snake you don't have Shelby, lol.

:P

More like a snake I don't want to have. lol At first I think 'oh this snake isn't all that interesting, I don't really want one of those' then it turns in to 'hey that snake is kind of cool..' then 'oh darn I'll add it to my list I really like that snake!'

I think breeders and stuff know you by heart now...

Albino blood

Green tree python
burmese
gaboon viper
sea snake

Crotalus willardi willardi - Arizona ridge-nosed rattlesnake. Mega-protected!

Aside from that I am very content with my present collection. :)

K~

Lessee, if I could have anything... hard to narrow down to 5. :P

1) Blue eyed Leucy BP
2) female Axanthic BP
3) Suri red tailed Boa
4) Caulker Cay Boa (is next on my after we move list!)
5) Black and white striped King (skunk snake!) and more Asian rats!

First snake i would get would be Dumerils as i still miss the pair i had to sell :(
then the other four as follows
Argentine boa
Jungle carpet
Boelens Python if i had the ££££s
and last i would like this chap
this a photo i took today of a mates of mines Trans pecos copperhead he is gorgeus , im so jelous he has the license :/
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...CopperHead.jpg

I have no room currently for any more herps...

My "wish I could have but probably never will" list in no particularly order:
- lavender or purple phase albino retic (too expensive and too BIG, but OOOH, I wants one! I'm hoping retic breeders can get this coloration going in dwarfs in the next couple of years)
- copperhead (so freaking cool but I really never want to keep hots)
- angolan python (out of my "pet price range" but so pretty)
- piebald bp (*whimper*)

My "can't get one now but someday, oh YES I will"
- VBB (com'on Matsu, give us babies!)
- sunglow motley cornsnake
- rosy boa (undecided on region, but pretty sure I want one from Randy Wright)
- crestie (not a snake, but it's a rule you know)

And I'm always window shopping BCC, especially Suris...but I'm not sure I want another one.

April, I don't believe that the Oreophis porphyraceus laticinctus has a common name. It is in the same family and very similar in looks, except lines are vertical on snake instead of horizontal, and a little darker in color, however, they are still very rare in captivity. Only a few people have them. As far as my list goes it is as follows:

No particular order:
Oreophis porphyraceus vaillanti
Eyelash Viper
Hypomelanistic Blackhead Python
Ghost Brazilian Rainbow Boa(It has not been made yet)
Pygmy Python

Ooh, I forgot woma and blackhead pythons!

I agree....it's absolutely beautiful! I can't imagine I'd ever keep any hots....but if I ever wanted to dare risk it, it would be a copperhead.

that copperhead was surprising placid (not that id ever trust one to get 2 close hehe) i was using a sigma 105mm macro lens when i was taking its picture so i had to get fairly close but i made sure i was just out of its striking range ;)
