Gonyosoma oxycephala (Redtail Green Rat Snake) Beautiful simplicity.

I would also say how could you go wrong with a simple Red Tail Boa or a Hog Island Boa for a display animal. Sometimes I think less is more,

Wow...:O

there's a guy who vends at the NH expo who always has a bunch of these. Gorgeous snake and fairly well-mannered from what I can tell.

Well, if you're saying shoot for the moon and a snake that actually exists...then probably an eyelash viper or a gaboon viper. But I will probably never keep hots.

Now, for a snake that doesn't exist...how about a blue eyed lucy Green Tree Python? Or carpet?

Captive Bred (when you can find them) are pretty chill. Wild caught are mean as all get out. They are also full of parasites. Every time I have found some available and was ready/willing to get one they were wild caught. So I have always passed. I will probably get a CB one at some point they are just too beautiful. The CBs I have handled acted a lot like CB Taiwans or Blue Beauties. Not really happy to be handled and very much on the go but no inclination to bite. I handled a fresh import one time and he tried to remove my nose from my face, :O. Not exactly a good snake for teaching kids :snake:

A green tree python

Red tailed rat snakes. They are hard to find, but amazing to look at. Bright emerald green with clear eyes that range from green to blue, and a blue tongue with a black stripe down the center. They are not, as i like to call them, a cuddle snake. but they are interactive; they have excellent eye sight so they will watch and follow your every move. They are also colubrids, and active ones, so you can watch them climb around. Only issues are the aggression, hard to obtain, and require room.

Dude.. zombie thread

My Gaboons.

They aren't my favourite snake, but I don't think you can find a more visually pleasing snake. It's as if their design was printed.
