What is your favorite species?

Yep, for me it is easy. Love reticulated pythons! My keeping them has been a great adventure. Everything from pulling teeth to sharing the love with kids and others around me. Even a bite or two in there. So beautiful! Intelligent. Interactive. Yes there are challenges but man I love these guys. I do like others but If I had to pick a favorite, retics would be top of my list.

You don't have to own your favorite to pick it. Looking forward to seeing what people bring to the table.

I love all my critters but the carpet pythons are my favorite. I like medium-large sized snakes and carpets fill the bill perfectly. All mine are pretty mellow, they almost always eat, they're fun to handle, they display well, and the husbandry is fairly simple. What more can you ask for in a snake? :) :snake:

The one I will never have Naja Naja

You can probably tell from my 'name' that I really love Trans Pecos rat snakes, but I have to admit it's a toss-up between them & "rattle-brats". The first are
awesome & mellow pets, admittedly easier for anyone to live with, while the latter requires an extensive explanation that I won't supply just now.

Generally? Cats. Just cats all day long.

In the reptile hobby? Favorite for taming and handling is the beardie. Favorite to work with is my king, but my new woma is quickly winning 2nd place. Great feeders + super docile = awesome pets.

My favorite would have to be Bitis gabonica and second would be Ophiophagus hannah. Both of which I will not be keeping.

Hairy bushviper... would have one if it were legal.

Favorite non snake would be komodo dragon...even less likely. Lol

Love my BP. Shes a little sweetheart. I love that BP Puppy dog face.

Hmmmm... Thats a hard one! I would say my Hypo Hog Island Boa. Extremely mellow and sits in your lap like a puppy...But dont tell my other kids what I just said that!! :shh:

Boas. BCI, BCC, doesn't matter really. I just love that whole genus and think they are exquisitely beautiful, interesting snakes.

No offense to my homie Syd, though. She's a cutie and I adore her too. But as a whole, I like boas more than I like ball pythons. Individually, she's my favorite snake I've ever had.

Dumerils Boa for me. Perfect size and temperment, and beautiful colors

My specific northern pine snake, dumeril's boas, blood pythons, and eastern indigos. I think scrub pythons would also be my fav if my personal one wasn't such a lunatic LOL.

Bullsnakes (Pituophis catenifer sayi). Good sized, excellent temper, great feeders. Okeetee corn snakes are next; those colors burn.

Reticulated pythons are my a time favorite snake they are so graceful, intelligent, and the color plates are killer. You can tell they are always thinking of something (probably how to stir up some mischief) one day hopefully. :D
My favorite none reptile CATS!! LOVE THEM AND THEIR sweet faces, and crazy fabulous toe beans love their meows and their inquisitive nature the best ..

Haha well since I don't have to own them, I admit I always found monitors lizards amazing! Lace monitors specifically, especially Bell Phase have me mesmerized to no end, though I'm not sure how realistic it would be for me to ever own one. Haha but I can dream :P


And of course, I am an avid cat lover :P All species of feline I love!
