Your Favorite Colubrids?

Chocolate kings... Yum :P

Well, a few years ago, I would have told you that I was strictly a ball python girl, nothing else really appealed to me. Sure - I admired the beauty of other species, but never "hankered" to own any.

Fast forward to today, and I'm the proud owner of two female albino cali kings, a pair of albino sonoran gophers, one male imperial (pueblan milk/cali king hybrid) and a pair of black milks.

I own a lot of corns, but I'd really like an albino hondo someday if I can squeeze it into my snake buying budget. :D

i love kingsnakes specially the black and white 1's, but i myself have a Black Mexican King =p

Corn snake!! :D

Rhino rat snake. They are really cool and unique

I voted Garter Snakes.

They are small, easy to keep, communal so I can put more than one in each cage, Diurnal, highly active, they climb, burrow AND swim.

They are available in more colours than any other single species, they pose no environmental impact if they escape, they don't just hide all day...

I would have to say I'm also a big ball python person and devote a lot of time into them, BUT I am starting to like the corn snakes and morphs that are out there. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than balls and come in some cool colors. So the corns get my vote.

Wow I didn't read your post before I posted mine but those are some awsome looking snakes. I had no idea there were so many color phases. The black and red and black and blue ones are sick. Thanks for the post and pictures. Think I am going to have to look into them. Question though. I know when I have found them and you pick them up they release a nasty smell. Does that go away the more they are used to being held?

Rat snakes. They don't get enough love. :) Corn snakes and king snakes as well - and man, after seeing infernalis' post, I want to look into garter snakes.

I used to be a BP girl - and don't get me wrong, I love them - but now that I've gotten into colubrids, well, BPs...move on over!
