What Are YOU Favorite Species Of Snakes?

Had to vote "Other" because you forgot Eastern Indigos! When I was growing up in Florida, my best friend had one that was probably 6 ft and lived on her farm. It would come right up to people if the dog wasn't around. Then I saw some up close at the Pomona show back in January, and fell in love all over again. Once I can build a good habitat for them, I'm going to start in on my Indigo addiction.

I've also got a crazy love for my BPs (of course!), Angolans, Dumerils, and Cay Caulker boas.

Ahhh, if only I had infinite space and money! :please:

What? As a pet? Aren't they mean? I'm claiming total ignorance here, but I am always interested in learning about these giants and how on earth they could be pets. Do share more.....

:)

I said Retic even though I have many many more BPs. They were always my favorite but I couldnt properly house and handle anythign that got over 6 to 8 ft. So now I have a SD retic, a newly rescued Burm (not sure what I will do with him down the rd) boas and borneos so size is really not an issue anymore.

(Sort of) the same here; I tagged jungle wishing there was an Irian Jaya and/or Bredli option. "Jungle Carpet Python" really ought to have just read "Carpet Python" if there was only going to be one thing listed for Morelia apart from GTP.

This is kind of hard for me...

i love BPs, they have amazing attitude, great morphs, and get the perfect size. i love everything about them.

But i fell in love with anacondas a few years back, the strength, how they feel, they are just complete opposites in so many ways.

and then finally, Retics.
the size, strength, and how they are so aware.

BP's are byfar my fav. and always will be, but god how i love the others too.

I voted:

Cornsnakes: because they're so insanely easy to care for and have colors that literally glow.

Hognose snakes: Because of those adorable faces.

Ball Pythons: duh! lol... and also because of their faces.

Green Tree Pythons: Amazing colors, just love how they look.

Woma Pythons, Hogg Island Boas, Rainbow Boas: all beautiful snakes I'd like to own someday.

Pets
Ball Pythons: My all-time favorite snakes.
Green Tree Pythons: Soooo pretty!
Rainbow Boas: The most beautiful snakes out there.

Non-Pets
Rattlesnakes (Sidewinders are rattlesnakes too): They're just neat. Love the keeled scales and the cute rattling.
Cobras: Favorite venemous snakes of all time (hooded/spectacled cobras are my favs).

(Yes, I realize all these can be pets; I'm meaning ones that I won't have as pets.)

Corns, raised them for years.
Ball pythons, raised them for years.
Dumerils Boa, raised them for year.

I guess I'm a creature of comfort.

I love all the pythons, and ball pythons are way up on my list, my goal is to get a granite burmese python as a baby and raise into the beast nature intended it to be! I mean who can't resist their patterns? So I voted burms, but I still love my bps.

I voted Ball Python for many reasons:

1. I don't like polls that let you vote for more than one thing because that over-emphasizes the opinions of those that can't decide on one.

2. It is my first snake to own.

3. I think the head of a ball python is the most beautiful head shape of all snakes, I don't care what the colors are when it comes to this preference.

4. No matter what situation I've tried to handle my ball python, he's never looked like or attempted to bite me.
