Snake Owners 2!

Ok so I'm sorry that last time I made that Snake Owners one I forgot to make it multiple choice. THIS TIME it's multiple choice. Which snakes are more common? Let's find out :].

In case you aren't sure what the poll choices mean:

Colubridae- Non-venomous snakes other than Pythons and Boas. Example: King snakes, Corn snakes, Milk snakes, Rat snakes, Garter snakes.

Boidae- Boas. Snakes that use constriction to subdue prey and give live birth. Example: Dumeril's boas, Sand boas, Rainbow boas, Rosy boas, Red Tail boas.

Pythonidae- Pythons. Snakes that use constriction to subdue prey. These snakes lay eggs, and have more teeth than boas. Example: Ball/Royal pythons, Woma pythons, Green Tree pythons, Carpet pythons, Spotted pythons.

Elapidae- Venomous snakes that use venom to subdue prey. These snakes have round pupils and have fangs that do NOT fold back, instead, they stand out. Example: Cobras, Kraits, Mambas, Boomslangs, Taipans.

Viperidae- Venomous snakes that use venom to subdue prey. These snakes have cat-like eyes and their fangs fold back. Example: Rattle snakes, Gaboon vipers, Copper heads, Cotton mouths/Moccasins, Eye lash viper.

Other- Sun beam, Thread, and Blind snakes. The smallest snakes in the world, almost worm-like. These snakes are sometimes mistaken to look like worms.


*You may also post a pic of your snake if you'd like, I always like to see snakes no matter how they look! They ALL fascinate me, every single one of them. You can also tell me what type of snakes you own, and if you own too many to name, you can just name a few ;].

I own more Boids but I believe there are more colubrids.

I own mostly Colubrids, but I also own a few pythons and a boa.

I own mostly colubrids, and I like BPs but I'm a colubrid guy at heart. I have 3 corns, 1 rat snake intergrade, 1 jungle corn, 1 eastern garter, 1 eastern garter, 1 tri-colored hognose, 2 ball pythons, 1 kenyan sand boa, and 1 red tailed boa.

A Spotnose has like a spot on both sides of the nose (more toward the front) right on top of the vent.

i dought it, she looks normal to me :)

Had a few BP's years back.... I have a BCI right now and it is the coolest snake ever but Im looking to get a pastel BP so my kids can get into it. I let em hold the BCI but dont want them thinkin they can go get him out of his house anytime they want due to potential size factors.

Actually a spotnose has a spot ON its nose - the ones with spots on either side are just boogerballs. :P

They also normally have a marking on the top of the head I think but don't quote me on that. :oops:

:whisper: And the opening to the nostrils are called nares I think - the vent is definately the dangerous bit at the other end.
