    My favorites are the Cay Caulker and Hog Islands.
    I will actually be getting a Cay Caulker in a few months :)

    Until....she noticed "that other snake" who was outside the car n the funny little "window". :)

    The rest of the ride home, she watched that snake until it got too dark for her to see it.

    I think they try to interact with us, too.

    Last night, Pinky let loose with a ginormous pee/poop and she hopped up on her deck, which, until now, she had not really used.

    When I discovered the mess, she was on the deck, looking down at her 'gift' to me and then looking up at me as if to say "Make it go away!!!".

    Last night was feeding night but I was too busy and now everybody is out of their hides, displaying themselves prominently and dramatically so I won't "forget" that they're there.

    I suspect their brains function a lot more highly than we'd ever guess.

    These days I am really fond of Amazon tree boas and have several of them. I like that they grow to a reasonable size, come in amazing colors and make such nice display snakes! And they are actually not as mean as people make them out to be. I can handle every one of mine very easily!

    Thank you !

    I'd have to agree with you ;)

    I was actually enquiring about a tiny hatchling Snow boa at the time .... approaching all the UK Snow Boa breeders . I just couldn't find one and then one of them contacted me and offered me this stunning 7' , adult male who was not only a proven stud but was the featured Snow Boa in the well respected John Berry Designer Morphs books !!

    The guy needed a urgent cash boost and I had to put £???which was about $????? into his ( complete stranger )bank account and he'd deliver it to me ........

    That was the biggest risk I've ever taken :)

    I love my Dumeril's boa, her name is Rose Tyler.
    Was hard to chose one, since I have three different boas.
    I have a not-yet-sexed Brazilian Rainbow, Skittles, and a female Kahl Sunglow named Angel.
    Also on the way is an Anery Sand boa male named Grimmy.

    My favourite (just because I have one) is the Hog Island - gorgeous and such a character. But all boas are beautiful - I love Dumerils and Rainbows.

    Hog islands, love the pink hues and the black spots. I am also digging on those dominican red boas. Havent seen one in person but they look pretty cool.

    Dumeril's will always be my favorite. My male, so 'cleverly' named by my son, Slither, is going on 18. He's the absolute most mellow snake I've ever owned. He's currently regaining weight from a self-imposed 9+ month long fast (2nd time he's done that...both times I managed to snap him out of it by temporarily offering up poultry). Back when I had nearly a dozen snakes in my collection (over a decade ago), I really liked my Kenyans as well, just super cool looking snakes.

    I did just double my current snake count over the weekend (up to 2) with a beaut of a Colombian Motley (so cleverly named by me, Crüe). I'm really looking forward watching her grow.

    Cheers,
    Randy

    The species that got me into snakes was the Kenyan Sand Boa. Now that I've branched into other snakes, I don't think I'd get any more of them. They are so cute and unique looking, but all three of mine are problem feeders. I also prefer larger snakes now. So, my favorite is the BCI - I have two normal morphs, albino, and hypo. Great snakes.

    The same Barranquilla, locality, Colombian boa I posted back in June 2013 is my favorite today.

    Just a "normal" not a morph.

    Thanks Gus Rentfro for your breeding efforts.

    *These are all of the boas I could think of. If I did not list one of your favorites, select 'Other'.

    I didn't read that i could make multiple choices! Doh!! i chose red tail, but totally would have added Rosy, and may i ask, is the "Peruvian boa" BC Longicauda (long-tailed boa)? B/C i like those guys just for their name, long-tail is a misnomer, read Vin Russo to find out the the funny true story!

    I don't EVEN know how to answer this poll, since I'm not sure if the question is just about the snake's appearance, or about which one's I enjoy living with? It makes a huge difference ;) & besides that, I'm a sucker for almost any old snakes...:snake::snake2::snake::snake2::snake::snake2::snake:
