What is "your" herp?

I know, most of us here keep a few different types of herps. But what is your favorite, your trademark?
Mine has to be the BPs. I love my boa, and my new corn is cool too, but they just are not "it" to me. I will keep the two of them, and I do love my boa and handling him; but it seems like one of each of those types is enough. Now BPs, I can see myself doubling or tripling my collection in the nxtt few years!
So what's Your poison??

mine would probably be Candoia. Even though I'm kind of drifting away from them to play in some other species I love them and they are what started me back on snakes after a short hiatus.

I am a boid boy all the way, always had a gravitation to pythons in particular balls, they are just so darn cue!

Ball pythons all the way! I do enjoy my leo and crestie too, but ball pythons have always been my first love. I really don't even have a desire to own any other species of snake, ball pythons really captivated me!

Even though he can be mean as snot, I still love my Panther Chameleon. It's always fascinating to watch him eat and drink, and see his eyes move independantly. He has such beautiful coloring too! But I'm quickly becoming partial to BP's as well. I believe I caught the BP addiction that everyone talks about.

I see my collection of bp's to be what will grow the most, however I'm still lookin for "that" snake. I dunno. I think what I want is a 6 foot ball, however I don't think those are too common lol. I mean, I love my boa, but at the same time there's something missing with him that I just cannot grasp, although his size is perfect!

Pythons in general. I see my self keeping more balls, yet I'm partial to my carpet. I think I'm drawn to his pissy personality. Somehow makes me feel like we have a lot in common.:D

mine is monitors of any kind

Used to be my albino labyrinth Burmese... now it's the ball pythons. Although I think one day I will try to get a male labyrinth Burm again. Burms are huge sweeties. :)

Used to be beardies but now it's BP's all the way!

Boas, there is a few Morphs of Bps I wouldn't mind owning, but boas hold me steady.

Corn snakes, they have great personalities and come in so many colors.

Ball Python mine thinks he is a cuddlie kitty

Ball pythons will likely always be my #1....the herp I focus the very most on and can't ever get enough of. But someday, I'd also really love to have a few special tortoises...those faces just GET to me!

oh gosh I agree 100% why are we so much alike LOL

Although I think a lil totoises feet are so cute!!! But yes that lil face steals my heart...

At this moment my love is of course my balls...I to lean toward my largest ...an amazing personality and size I cant get enough of...all of them have something I love...but Big Willy knows mama loves her fat ass to pieces...

Give me a 6ft male BCI or a full grown female BP and I'm set! ;)

OK, this is gonna amaze a couple of you, but the frogs have been a constant with me for a long time. they become very responsive to their keepers. I have a couple whites that I can get like 15 feet away from me and hold out a cricket or mouse in my hand and they will walk on all four legs over to the food and take it out of my hand and eat it. Balls and Boas have been here forever and I love them...but there has to be frogs or there is not alot of fun. after awhile you learn to recognise each ones calls or barks. Yep frogs. :P

I can understand that...obviously its create when a pet responds to you...damn snakes and there rude asses!!! :P

How can you resist a face like this! :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1177712121

How dare you use that pic to win people over!:P Yes, mine are so used to me they call out while I sit at the computer and will take F/T mice from my fingers. I never knew that frogs would ever eat anything other than live up to that point!:eek:

Do I need to say :devilish:


Burmese Pythons and Ball Pythons will always hold a place in my heart though...its why I still keep a few in my collection.

wow tough question!

It's a toss up for me! I lllllooove my Dums, but my new long tail is such a pretty girl too.

Don't get me wrong, I love pythons but there is just somthing about boas! The shape of their heads and their eyes are just breathtaking!

aww crap dont tell me anymore cute things they do!!!!! :banned1:

After much time spent trying to figure out what I enjoy keeping the most......I found that lizards are my favorite. I am not a big fan of geckos, but I love monitors and chameleons. So much personality when compared to snakes ;)

.....If I had to give it all up except one herp, I would keep these guys around

Well Ed, since you mentioned frogs, I have to say that they were what got me into herps. I love having the clawed frogs; they are so entertaining to watch, especially while eating!
Whose WTFs, are adorable..

For me it used to be turtles...but now BP's are "my" herp. I still have a small spotted turtle though...

Mine are BPs...


When I get more space and more time, I will expand again and try some lizards or new snakes...

All in time.... :D

I'm somewhat on the fence. I love BPs. They are what got me into this hobby. I'm also very excited to breed them. But I love Kozma to death. I love big snakes even though he is the only one I've ever had. That is why I sold my Corn a while back.

I guess I'll say BPs, but I earned my Snake Whisperer rep from being the only one able to handle Kozma without being tagged lol

Blood pythons for me.. a fat snake will get me every time.

When I have enough money to get some Boelen's pythons though.. who knows. :)

Agh.... I can't choose. I love all my critters for diffrent reasons... :rolleye2:

I love ball pythons but the herp I would list as mine is the snake I fell in love with as a mere little girl and made we get into herps;
The Black Indigo, that is my herp, been that way since I was about 7.

Soon as my son leaves the nest I will be converting his room in to a herp room and will get the large cage needed to keep one then I will apply w/ wildlife get my permit and buy one :)

snakes in general. i tell my friends f they ever see a snake(or spider/tarantula) somewhere on anything, thats my trademark.

Gee, I wonder... hmm... Could it be.... blue beauties? ;) Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the VBBs ultimately.
