    Hm.. I don't want any big snakes personally.. here are some I would want :)
    Gaboon Viper (AWEsome looking)(if, say, they found naturally-occuring venomoid specimens.)
    Blood (no room at this point for one)
    Green Tree Python or Emerald Tree Boa JCP (same, no room)
    Bredl's Pythons seem awesome too.

    Ohhhh...to just choose five? That'd be hard to do, but I'll try. And these, of course, are in addition to ball pythons and their various morphs...and in no particular order...


    1. A variety of Asian Ratsnakes (does that count as one? LOL)
    2. Burmese Python
    3. Olive Python
    4. Suriname BCC
    5. Green Tree Python

    And there are others....I'm just nuts about snakes!

    Re: 5 snakes you would keep!
    My very favorite snake of all is..

    1: morelia boeleni (boelen's python) I will have some one day.
    2: python reticulatus - . I love the albinos as well as ther sunfires.. don't have the room or experience now, but some day I will.
    3: eunectes murinus - green anaconda. Again no room, I love keeping the yellow anacondas, and some day will move up to the greens.
    4: python timoriensis - beautiful rare pythons. Too big and too expensive for now, but someday. :)
    5: sanzinia madagascariensis - madagascar tree boa. Again size and expense limits me now, but I will own some one day.

    I do not ever plan to keep a hot in my home, but if my dream comes true and I open a zoo, I will have many hots in it. :)

    Oh Daniel, what is the common name of your mountain ratsnake that you want? On my list I have elaphe porphyracea porphyracea and elaphe porphyracea coxi, which are quite similar to the one on your list.

    :P

    More like a snake I don't want to have. lol At first I think 'oh this snake isn't all that interesting, I don't really want one of those' then it turns in to 'hey that snake is kind of cool..' then 'oh darn I'll add it to my list I really like that snake!'

    Re: 5 snakes you would keep!
    I have no room currently for any more herps...

    My "wish I could have but probably never will" list in no particularly order:
    - lavender or purple phase albino retic (too expensive and too BIG, but OOOH, I wants one! I'm hoping retic breeders can get this coloration going in dwarfs in the next couple of years)
    - copperhead (so freaking cool but I really never want to keep hots)
    - angolan python (out of my "pet price range" but so pretty)
    - piebald bp (*whimper*)

    My "can't get one now but someday, oh YES I will"
    - VBB (com'on Matsu, give us babies!)
    - sunglow motley cornsnake
    - rosy boa (undecided on region, but pretty sure I want one from Randy Wright)
    - crestie (not a snake, but it's a rule you know)

    And I'm always window shopping BCC, especially Suris...but I'm not sure I want another one.

    April, I don't believe that the Oreophis porphyraceus laticinctus has a common name. It is in the same family and very similar in looks, except lines are vertical on snake instead of horizontal, and a little darker in color, however, they are still very rare in captivity. Only a few people have them. As far as my list goes it is as follows:

    No particular order:
    Oreophis porphyraceus vaillanti
    Eyelash Viper
    Hypomelanistic Blackhead Python
    Ghost Brazilian Rainbow Boa(It has not been made yet)
    Pygmy Python

    I agree....it's absolutely beautiful! I can't imagine I'd ever keep any hots....but if I ever wanted to dare risk it, it would be a copperhead.

    that copperhead was surprising placid (not that id ever trust one to get 2 close hehe) i was using a sigma 105mm macro lens when i was taking its picture so i had to get fairly close but i made sure i was just out of its striking range ;)
