Coolest Looking Snakes!?!

What do you think is the coolest looking snake!?! My votes goes to the two below (not Ball Pythons.)

The links below will take you to a Google Images search page with lots of pics of these guys. What's your favorite?

#1) Pictures of Atheris Hispida

#2) Pictures of Atheris squamigera

Hispida is my fav. out of those two, it looks to me like I think the Harry Potter basilisk should've looked like! Awesome!

Bush vipers (the type you posted) are pretty neat. Sea snakes can see with their tails, which is really amazing, but I'd have to say the Chrysopelea are my favorites.

Gaboon viper all the way!!!

Gaboons are cool but I prefer Rhino Vipers over them, but bush vipers, just awesome!

Let's get them all together for a gladator-style combat match and see which is really the coolest?

Ooo! Someone make a poll with pics of each!

I can't pic there are so many cool snakes. Boelen's pythons, rough scale pythons, ruby eye green pit vipers, canary gtp, tentacled snake, elephant trunk snake, rhino rats, and I could go on all day.

Venomous snakes have such an amazing look to them. Their head shape is really unique and their scales are always rougher and wilder.

Are there any non-venomous species that fit that description but aren't venomous?

I'm no expert on hots, but I don't think so... pretty sure it IS the venom that gives them the unique appearance! Closest you'll probably get is something rear-fanged, like a False Water Cobra or Hognose. My Hognose is awesome, and likes to pretend she's a cobra sometimes. :D

P.S. The snakes in that first post are WICKED looking! I also really like Eyelash Vipers and Gaboons:

My vote goes to boelens pythons. One day I'll have some.

There's so many cool venomous snakes!

For one that's only mildly venomous,I think the Asian vine snake is one of the coolest I've seen in real life. I got to hold one once, their lil stick tongues amaze me.

I have looked at vine snakes they just look different then anything i have and I don't think they do terrible damage to a person? There is minimal anti venom around here from what everyone tells me so I don't want something too hot even tho I find Gaboons awesome

Chondros...all the way ! The Blue phase color phase.:banana: One of these days I will get one.

From what I understand they're only mildly venomous and rear-fanged. I haven't read much about them but I was told they either only eat frogs or lizards or they prefer them and are hard to feed rodents. I may be wrong though, I think I was told that though.

Both gaboons and rhinos are awesome. so we combine them and make amazing hybrids.

I'm going with the Boelen's Python.

Non venemous- i like any tree boas or pythons the most probably.

Venemous- i like the shape of vipers heads. Rattlesnakes, copper heads, etc.

I think Yellow-Bellied Sea Snakes are pretty out of this world. If there was a way I could own one, I would.

Also Spider-Tailed Vipers are absolutely absurd. Not a lot of pictures of them unfortunately.

Just wow!

Suriname boas

The coolest looking snakes in my opinion are the Dragon Snake ( Xenodermus javanicus ) or Javan mudsnake-Xenodermis javanicus is a Colubrid snake found in South East Asia.... And the Scoria boa which is just a BCI color morph.

First up is the dragon snake...
