    What snakes do you want to own?
    This is a simple thread that there are probably more of but I am going to use it for future prospecting as well. Just post what type of snake is on your "wish list" and post a generalized picture of it. I'm not really expecting anybody will participate but all well. I'll start since I started the thread:

    Normal Ball:
    I shouldn't really need to post a pic of this.

    Brazilian Rainbow Python:

    I love the look of these Boas. The way they shine blue when light hits them. They look remarkable and hope to see and own one at some point.

    Green Tree Boa:

    I heard they are difficult to raise since they are bad temperamental. I like challenges. Plus the way they change colors from a baby to adulthood is pretty cool.

    Your pic is of a Green Tree Python.

    They are in many ways similar to an Emerald Tree Boa.

    As far as what I'd like goes, my list includes several from the Morelia genus (IJ carpet, GTP, maybe bredli, though bredli get a little large for my taste), Woma python, Stimson's python, and the beautiful Brazilian Rainbow Boa. My brother has a few BRBs, and having seen them in person and handled them, they are amazing, even as babies.

    As far as what I'll ever end up getting, well, my GF loves our geckos, but is not terribly enthusiastic about snakes, so it'll probably just be the the Stimson's python, if anything. A guy can dream, right?

    Aside from a handful of BP morphs (Lesser/Butter/Spider/Pinstipe/Woma/Enchi/or combos thereof), I eventually plan to get:

    A pair of Hogg Islands

    A Hognose (I live in IL though, so got a couple hoops to jump first lol)

    An Amazon Tree Boa (Either a really dark garden (jungle?), or a red/orangey one)

    And some sort of blood python, although I still can't decide what sort I want. I really like blacks, reds, and some of the albino-type morphs are just jaw-dropping.

    No photos, my internet hates me right now, everything's loading extra slow -.-

    I realized but couldn't edit it out because I realized after the 10 minute limit. :( But a Green Tree Python IS what I meant along with a Brazilian Rainbow Boa (not python). Thanks for pointing it out and participating!

    I want a quality breeding group of Green Tree Pythons. They have been my favorite animal since I was a wee little boy, haha. I want to limit the number of species I care for to a minimum and specialize in the few I choose.

    My "wish" list is way too extensive and long, so I'll post some other species besides BPs that I'd like to work with:

    ~ Bullsnake (want a snow)
    ~ Angolan Python
    ~ Blood Pythons (a Black Blood and a T+ Albino)
    ~ Another Cornsnake (a snow female)

    Other than those, all my other wanted snakes are female boa and ball morphs :)

    rhino rat snake, as well as a few other awesome colubrids like mexican pine snakes

    I don't have pics of everything I want, but I'll include the few that I do have.

    Ball Pythons: Lesser, Lesserbee, kingpin, BEL, and pied
    Here's a pic of a beautiful kingpin and BEL:
    http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...gbutterpin.jpg
    http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...ckeyedlucy.jpg
    And if I could ever afford it, I'd give my eye teeth to get one of these babies: a pastel butter woma...
    http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...butterwoma.jpg

    I also want an assortment of boas. These are actuall a higher priority than the balls (at least for now, lol). I am partial to hypos het for ghost, snows, and/or moonglows and for those 3 morphs themselves, plus albinos and sunglows. I also love the T+ albino (caramel) argentine boas <<drool....>>.

    And I definitely want Green Tree Pythons! That is something I can cross off my wishlist in the spring! I am picking up a gorgeous male in March. But I think I'm gonna want more than one...
    http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...iList/wes1.jpg
    Incidentally, this is the ACTUAL GTP I am getting! This is Hunter with the breeder's 8yr old son. You can see how docile he is. GTPs being temperamental can be a myth. There are certainly some that will sooner snag you as look at you, but not all of them are like that. In fact, Hunter's breeder has nearly 30 GTPs and he has told me he only has one that will not be handled. You just need to do your research when looking for one to purchase. :gj:

    I would also like a Brazillian Rainbow boa, Dumerils boa, and a black tailed Cribo (colubrid related to the Indigo snake). :D

    As many morphs of ball python I can get, lol!

    More gtps

    I had a pair of Brazilian rainbows and would love to aquire them again

    Morphs of burms. All I have is albinos.

    White phase albino retic.

    King Cobra.....I know, crazy right?

    If i had the house for it and my wife suddenly started benching 300lbs I'd get as many "Large snakes as possible i love every aspect of Burms, Retics, Combo of Retic and burm(Bate-eater or something like that) I REALLY want one of every color of burm and Retic a black Anaconda(just to say I have one) But in reality my 110lb wife and I would not be able to handle an adult of ANY burm or retic... My father would be the only one brave enough to try it and his heart has electrodes in it "just in case" he has another "Episode" as he says so I dream but in reality I'll find someone in the Iowa Herp Society befriend them and maybe eventually see and hold one of theirs A few Venomous snakes would be the Green Vine Snake http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/e...Vineonpath.jpg
    and a Monocled Albino Cobra
    http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/z...bite/cobra.jpg
    but neither are legal to own where i live

    Aside from about 30 bp morphs....here's a few of mine and not in order

    Hypo, T+ blonde/caramel burmese
    Purple phase retic (debating if I want a tiger or norm)
    Dwarf retic (or any other smaller sized retic)
    Brazilian Rainbow Boa or the Peruvian locale
    GTP
    Garter snakes
    Hognose
    And eventually I'd like to work my way into a few hots

    Oh...and a few lizards thrown in for good measure :P lol

    Re: What snakes do you want to own?
    if i can ever persuade my better half to give up his "your not gettin' any more snakes" deal i'll someday be able to get the others on my "future hopefuls" list & those are
    1) BP - medium white pumpkin piebald
    2) BP - butterbee
    3) T+ albino nicaraguan boa
    4) kingsnake (either a high white or a lavendar albino)

    I only want a few more balls, not planning to buy more than 10 or 15 (producing is another issue altogether :D ) but I definitely want to start getting into a variety of species

    Everything else?
    1.1 Dominican Red Mountain boas
    1.1 Jamaican Boas (going to try breeding with the DRMs first so I can get the CBW Permit for these)
    Boelen's python
    Mandarin Ratsnakes
    Imperial Pueblan (I know not everyone is crazy about hybrids, but I like how a lot of these look)
    Dumeril's boa
    Red tailed green ratsnake
    Blue Beauty snake
    Reduced pattern RTB, I like Guyanas and Surinames a lot

    And the list goes on forever... These are just the ones I've either narrowed it down to or priorities I'm working to be able to get to (Jamaican boas, specifically)

    Well, BPs aside because that would be way too long of a list....

    A Blood Python (they are SO CHUBBY I must have one!)
    Some sort of Boa constrictor, haven't decided what kind yet
    Either a butter or gold dust corn snake
    Candycane corn snake
    Either a kingsnake or a hybrid. I've seen...I think it was Imperial Pueblans? Kingsnake/Pueblan Milksnake I think. Ones with all black bellies. That really tickles me for some reason, and I'd love to have one.
    And a hognose!

    Re: What snakes do you want to own?
    Lots of ball python morphs, too many to list. Green tree pythons, Super dwarf tiger calico reticulated pythons, yellow anacondas, green anacondas, Brazilian rainbow boas, red blood pythons, albino Burmese pythons, few different cobras (actually one of the easiest snakes to tame), jungle carpet pythons, coastal carpet pythons, Columbian redtail boas and hog island boas. Personally I have no desire to own anything smaller than a ball python, excluding some green tree pythons which I love.

    My next snake (hopefully) will be a Black Tailed Cribo.
    I would really like to work with Drymarchons.

    Second would be a high yellow Male Russian Ratsnake to pair with my female.
