Hands down the Russian Ratsnake !!!
While plain as babies, the adults look quite striking. Better yet, as long as your house is comfortably heated/cooled, you do not use any heat on them.
They do love to climb a bit, and usually love to hang out in the open. They watch intently what everyone is doing around them. They seem almost intelligent. They get quite big and heavy bodied for a Ratsnake. They are curious and very handleable, up for anything !! They are the closest to a "buddy" you can get in a snake, imhoThey don't usually hide. They will make good use of branches and decorations

A very fun, uncomplicated display snake, one you can also enjoy outside of its cage![]()
