Your favorite snake species

I love cantil head markings.

Glad you like the thread.. I thought we needed something new to talk about.

ha ha....i love how the original question was 'What is your favorite snake species?"......but everyone answers with more than one snake species :) I guess we all love our herps ;)

Yep... Could go on and on...


For me it would be Olive Pythons and P. curtus curtus(Held one of each of Bob Clark's and just fell in LOVE). Of course I have to add in those Guyana Red Tails(the whole purple snake thing). I love Womas and Black-Headed pythons. White-Lipped and Savus are also on my "list".

Venomous... Just give me any good ol' Texan rattler, and I will be a happy camper. I do like Cottonmouths' faces though. I really like the Gaboons just because they are chunky as all get out, as well as those Eyelash Vipers(must be the flourescent yellow).

Constrictors -- Womas are the coolest and probably my next snake. I would love to get a Dumeril's Boa, but I think they might be a little too much on the large side for me. But when the pink is really pronounced, I think they may be the most beautiful snake on the planet.

Venomous -- I think Copperheads are fantastic. If my skills as a keeper ever progress to a point were I would feel the desire, comfort and capability of handling a hot snake it would most likely be a copperhead. Gaboon vipers are a close second. Eastern coral snakes are way up there as well for their beauty and incredibly toxic venom. And bushmasters are majestic.

:confused: I'm pulled between a RTB (BCI) and a JCP, but I'd probably say the RTB is my favorite. :eyepoppin

I considered both a white-lipped and a savu at the tinley park show, but passed them up because they were WC. Beautiful animals.

A pair of womas are in my future as well.. I love their eye shadow!

RWillinnable - Dums rock! My 7'+ female is very heavy and STRONG, but what an awesome animal! She has kept her pattern and pinks quite well too. Definitely an animal to work up to.. very worth it.

BALLS!!

Though honestly I never met a python I didn't like . . . not even that psycho liasis fuscus that is hellbent on biting me . . . and p.curtus brongersmai . . . . and p.curtus curtus . . . and well you get the idea . . . but balls above all of course.

I hate to sound unoriginal, but the balls just do it for me. ;)

I might be tempted to get another type (maybe the kenyan sand boa) in the distant future, but for now I'm sticking with bps! :love:
