What is the best looking non morph snake?

Another vote for Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

Green tree python, emerald tree boa, amazon tree boa all come to mind instantly

I also prefer normals of almost any snake to the morphs. My favorite variety of BP are the more "normal" looking ones... oh, and pied. :-)

Woma python... can be expensive, depending on your budget. I've seen males for $250 around here though.

Rosy boas may be worth a look, too. They come in local varieties that are natural, but seem like they must be morphs! This is my San Felipe female.

Have also kept some smaller locality boas (Hog Island) and a BCI who outgrew "his" potential and reached over 9 feet when I sold him. Think he may either have been a BCI/BCC cross or perhaps a female BCI, mis-sexed by the seller. Liked them, too.

Normal retic or normal burm. I know that you said size is an issue, but for the sake of just discussing pattern I'm not sure that any other snakes beat the intricately ornate design of both of these.

Corn snakes, woma pythons, black headed python, some bullsnakes, retics. And GTP's

I'd have to throw my bet in with a well bred, red blood pythons (brongersmai). Their cousins, the Sumatran and Borneo short tailed are gorgeous as well. They are a bit thick bodied, definitely one of the bigger pythons, as far as weight goes.

How could I forget about womas, always loved them also

Just picked up a couple timors and I think they're beautiful. Very pretty garter snakes out there as well and, depending on your preference, coming naturally in all sorts of colors. Check out more pituophis too while you're at it - some very nice locality animals throughout the genus and the pines are all gorgeous too.

tri color hognose!
