Other than the obvious, what's your favorite snake?

OK, let me re-phrase that. You might not admit it, but in your personal collection - I bet you have a favorite. I even have a favorite - Kashmire, even though they are all ball pythons.


Since I've not really researched other snakes - you guys just HAD to give me their latin names, didn't you? Guess I'll be googling away later! LOL

So, out of your personal collection, which snake is your personal favorite, and why? There's got to be one that if you were told you had to give them all up but one, which one would you keep? How's that? Probably still tough, huh? LOL

Besides balls I like Mangrove snakes (hope to have one soon ;) ) and I LOVE Ringed Pythons, the color as a babie and the color as adults are awsome.

Well I missed that post, in my collection my favorite is my Andean Milksnake, just because I have no other snake that is that agressive towards me :)

Well, as I only have 2 snakes so far, lol! I suppose my other favorite would be Falkor the corn! ;) I love this little dude. My first snake ever.

I *am* madly in love with the blue beauties tho. When I do get one and if it works out really well with her I'd be tempted to breed them. Any additional BPs will be purely for cuddling purposes. :D

Ringed pythons are very unique. Too bad they don't keep the baby color!

My favorite in my collection.. hmm.. probably Habanera my female blood. Rowan my male surinam is real nice too though. I don't know really.

I would have to say (if I HAVE TO) pick a second favorie, It would be a tossup between leucistic ratsnakes...ya just gotta love a pure white snake with blue/gray eyes... and rosy boas.. really cool and friendly little boas... and the rosys stay small, for a boa. I looove the amazon basin ETB's as well, but can never afford one.

I'm sure this is probably sacrilege, but ball pythons don't even hit my top 10 list if it wasn't for the morphs. And no, I'm not talking about the financial (HA!) side of morphs, I just like the way they pretty up a ball.

Snakes I'd keep before buying a normal ball:

Blood pythons
Borneo short-tailed pythons
Sumatran short-tailed pythons
Blackheaded pythons
Womas
Angolan pythons
Large-blotched pythons
Olive pythons
True red-tailed boas
Trans-Pecos ratsnakes
Black milksnakes

K~

Yeah.. normal BPs aren't even in my top 20 list.. maybe not even top 30.

Womas are really cool.. and I'd like to add eastern indigo snakes to my top list. :P

I feel bad for leaving out my tied for #1 spot favorite boid.. boelen's pythons. I forget about them because they are so rare in captive collections. *sigh*

I think I've always been facinated by the arboreal boas and pythons. ATB ETB GTP, even some Carpets. I'm too deep into BPs now tho, I'm seriously out of room!

Western Hognoses...I am shopping around for a few right now ;)

Brazilian Rainbow Boas and Stimsons pythons are also at the top of my list.
