Not a fan

If it were readily available, I would love to have an Eastern Indigo Snake. Talk about large, beautiful, and interesting. Nothing native ot the US can surpass it. However, until there is a real push for a captive breeding program so they can increase the numbers, they will just be a dream of mine.

House Snakes... Easey to handle great eater kills with full constriction... They have those almost viper eyes making them really cool... They look and behavr like minipythons... Look on someof my threads you will see some of color examples

I had a variable kingsnake and he was awesome. Average size, easy to handle, easy care, inquisitive and never missed a meal, even in shed. Mine was 7 when I had to rehome him. Best snake ever.

I can't relate at all. I LOVE colubrids. I have a Cal King, MBK, an albino bull snake and a snow bull snake and they are all AWESOME. They're active, super easy to care for, large but not too big, come in some great morphs, have just enough attitude, and they're absolute eating machines. What more could you want in a snake?

Northern pinesnake. Arboreal and different

I have 2 milksnakes 2 kingsnakes and a hognose. I think they're all beautiful (though I am concentrating more on BP's now) but my hypomelanistic tangerine Honduran milk with vanishing pattern is just stunning. and he's such a good Eater. I have a Sinaloan milk too, he's not the best Eater but he's so bright and sharp looking Anyway that's just my 2 cents, hope you find one you like! (Oh and my hognose girl is 3 feet long and eats like a pig)

These were mentioned earlier, (Mussurana Clelia) but if you like a bit of size, these can go 7 feet. They are pretty thick, beautifully smooth looking with an intense shine.

This linked video is the best example of anything I've seen relating to these guys.

The pied is unreal!

I really like that hypo tangerine honduran, but then I like the pied mussurana. I think I am going to decide between a mussurana and a milksnake. I just need sone help with some breeders of both animals.

What's the point of getting a colubrid? Well...
- They are fun to handle. Not quick like my boas, not a ball of unmoving snake like my BP's... they just cruise around and check you out. I've never had one bite, but two did musk a bit as babies until they learned that being handled was ok.
- They don't get too big, unlike my boas, so they're not intimidiating if I introduce the whole snakes-as-pets idea to a non-snake-owning friend.
- Many are quite pretty even if they don't come in "morphs".
- They're active during the day so they make good display snakes.
- They have great appetites so they act as the clean-up crew for my picky baby or juvenile ball pythons.
- They don't need super-expensive enclosures and it's easy to maintain their temperature and humidity requirements, so they don't have to be housed in my "herp room" with the boids.

I'd agree with your reasons.
The only thing that draws me towards pythons / boas would be the head. The shape of the head makes a world of difference for me. When there is no jaw line and head just blends into the body turns me away. But, I love my king snake. She's a lot more fun to handle and less intimidating to non-snake keepers.

Well What About Those heads ???
