poll: what is you favorite reptile

Boas and retics.

Cubans and retics

Out of my current snakes, it's my dumeril's boa. I think the extent that they're chill with anything on top of being a larger, muscular animal, I like them the best. I can literally pose her in certain positions to take pictures, like a clay model. LOL

But I obviously like all the species I own the best comparitively, or I wouldn't be owning them! I just have Russian rat snakes left to check off in my collection this summer.

Bullsnake. This could be included with the gopher snake entry, though.

Garter snake should also be on the list. They are my second favorite.

How can you pick just one type, variety is the spice of life.

Rat Snakes.

This is sorely lacking in details. Excluding birds there are roughly 17000 species of reptiles and amphibians. This list only includes snakes.

Additionally, favorite in what aspect? Venomous snakes is the inland taipan (the basis of my profile's name), in snakes it's pretty much just ball pythons due to their insane level of genetic diversity. In lizards I am torn, but would likely say the mangrove monitor for monitors, and black and white tegu for new world lizards. I don't have a favorite on turtles, crocs/alligators, or amphibians. My favorite bird is the golden eagle (for falconry purposes).

My favourite reptile isn't on that list. Testudo Graeca ibera or Mediterranean spur thigh tortoise. My 30 year old or so male is why. Since he regularly beats up every cat that enters his garden as well as stomping on my feet, I really can't complain - prevents cats crapping and does the weeding in my garden as well as having mad ninja hiding skills - He managed to use a flat bit of pine bark on the patio to totally vanish, even after being within 10cm of him I seriously could not see him, it took me putting my hand on him to get just to be able to get a outline.

That's why I believe in the Teenage Ninja mutant turtles, I keep a non mutated version.

My favorites are flying tree snakes and komodo dragon.

I mean I wouldn't want to own one, but they're cool

Other: Scrub pythons :) Incredibly intelligent and interesting species!
