Cayley, are you in California? We also have the strangest exotic laws.

Nah, I'm your upstairs neighbour, I live in BC, Canada. :P

Haha, I wasn't aware of strict laws there. BC fishing is the best.

I have a soft spot for ball pythons, but my retic is by far the most amazing snake I've ever owned. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ecd394aa43.jpg

Gorgeous patterning, especially on his head! Only things I don't love are his eyes. I just prefer dark ones on snakes, no offense. Overall though, he is absolutely beautiful. Retics are so good-looking.

Ohh this is a simple one, LOVE gaboon vipers. Had a friend who owned one, I got the chills just when entering the same room. I could never have one, too much respect (fear), still the most beautiful, amazing, powerful snake I've been close to.

For straight-up keeping I prefer the BCI's over my retics as they're a lot less work. The retics are the most fun to handle though.

I'm giving two answers. snakes I keep: carpet pythons. love them all, but if I could keep only one, I would keep my 75% diamond x jungle (see my avatar). snakes I don't keep: eastern diamondback rattler. I am 100% convinced that this species is mother nature's finest piece of work.

As pets, ball pythons hands down. Too adorable to register sometimes. Perfection for me. I mean, look at the puppy mouth!

For admiration, I always had a fascination with king cobras, very majestic. Chrysopelea/flying snakes are really cool too. They're a mix of derp and elegance at the same time, I luv em!

I have a ton of HUGE wild diamondbacks around my house. I've seen some around six feet in length. Crazy.
