TOP 50 REPTILES - What are yours?

I was keeping busy at work today and came across this link of the TOP 50 Rated reptiles on ARKIVE.ORG - Check it our --> TOP 50 REPTILES. They have a TON of great videos and images.

Anyways, this led me to think what my favorite reptiles were...

What are your all time favorites?? I chose some randoms for the Poll, but I'd love to see what everyone likes...

It's no contest who has the coolest name... http://www.arkive.org/satanic-leaf-t...-phantasticus/ :headbang:

1. Komodo - Obviously (Although I could never own one HAHAHAAHA.. too bad..)
2. Ball Pythons - duh
3. Angolan Pythons
4. Columbian RTBs
5. Carpet Pythons

9. Bearded Dragons
10. Giant Tortoise

But my list is from a keepers point of view. haha

I love my ball pythons, but you just can't beat the personality and just awe inspiring-ness of my water monitors. I could just watch them for hours...

Top 3 would have worked, tried to edit my post but not letting me!

Komodo's are pretty BAD***!

The Gila Monster is pretty sweet too!

GTP's and emerald tree boa's

I really like monitors. I believe water monitors like Zombie said. I like the skinnier ones that remind me of velociraptors, i think those would be water monitors but idk.

I also love huge tortoises, like galapagos tortoises or whatever.

For snakes i love my bps. Theres alot of other ones i think that are neat, including venemous ones, but its hard for me not to think about it from a keepers standpoint like chris said lol. ALso its hard to beat all of the different paint jobs they come in.

leopard geckos are really cute. I love alot of bearded dragon morphs that are coming out too. I definetly wanna get a beardie when i have the room and time to dedicate to one:gj:

YES! I'm a big fan of turtles and tortoises...

I loved my Soft Shell. They feeling was not mutual though the crabby old bugger. ;)

Python regius, Boa constrictor imperator, and Bitis gabonica. :)

Fair Enough!

No votes for the 'Slow Worm'? lol...

C'mon look at this guy!

http://cdn2.arkive.org/media/D7/D7C1.../Slow-worm.jpg

1)Argus monitor
2) Green tree python
3) black rough neck monitor(not many people have had them but i did and my guy would make you watch his cage for hours:D)
4) Carpet python
5)Ball python
6)bearded Dragon

but I am limited to what i can own in NY so that makes my decisions :rolleyes:

Hmmm, are we speaking in terms of captives or just in terms of animals in general? Because all of the reptiles listed on the poll would definitely make my top 50 as animals, but I feel very strongly that half of them should not be kept as pets.

But I would have to say my top 3 (in general) would be...
Drymarchon couperi
Any Boa constrictor ssp.
Varanus sp.
Closely followed by Rhacodactylus leachianus

Agreed, even if I (we) wanted to most of them would fall under some sort of bylaw. Nice to think you could have your very own Komodo though... ;)

Snakes, Jeeps, Dragons, Nature, & Knives.. Makes my world go-round!

Very Cool!!

My favorites are green iguana color morphs (I have a blue one).
Rock iguanas (specifically C. lewisi hybrids of which I have two)
and Ball Pythons

My next favorite would be Blood Pythons.

My husband would have C. lewisi hybrids first, probably, with Sulcatta tortoises as his second and box turtles as this third.

1. Sailfin Dragon
2. Camian Lizard
3. Galapagos marine iguanas
4. Frilled Lizard
5. Side Winder

So I selected Other and I like Boas over balls but I do keep about 12 balls and only 1 boa but eventually I will keep a lot of both however right now boas are just hands down my favorite. I know Dumerils boa was on there but I dont really have one favorite type of boa however I dont like sand boas at all....

Ball python
Green Vine Snake (Oxybelis fulgidus)
Mexican Mole Lizard (Bipes biporus)

(Oh, and all the Draco lizards, I second that one).

Balls
Sand Boas
GTPs
