Besides ball pythons? Ball pythons are most definitely my favorite, but years down the road, I might be interested in acquiring another species of snake as a pet only. Balls are the only species that I'm interested in breeding.

So, out of your own personal collection, what's your favorite snake, other than a ball - and why? In Georgia, we cannot own corn snakes or king snakes (since they are indigenous to the state).

I really like the dumerils, I love their patterns, the bloods are gorgeous, and I also love the BRBs, but I think their husbandry requirements would be difficult to maintain. I didn't used to like the boas, but the BCI's are starting to grow on me, and their smaller size (compared to the BCC - gosh I hope I don't have them backwards) is appealing.
