    Coolest Looking Snakes

    Please DO NOT nominate any venomous snakes. I want a new snake to add to my collection but I want it to look really cool. I do have experience with snakes so that's not an issue. If you know about there temperament please tell me how it is. Thank you 

    I love Carpet Pythons

    Mine










    They are much more active than balls, a bit more aggressive too but tend to calm down as they get older/bigger.

    They come in many different sizes (from the size of a ball up to 10+ feet) and many different colors (not as many as balls but some really cool ones)

    There are some pretty stunning colubrids out there. My personal favorites are Mandarin rat snakes and bamboo rat snakes (there are a few subspecies in there too). There are also all sorts of corns and kings. I'm not a huge corn fan myself, but there's a new morph they're calling the palmetto that I really like. Kinda like funfetti cake mix

    Bateater pythons are AMAZING looking, if you can handle giants and don't mind hybrids.

    Re: Coolest Looking Snakes

    There are so many gorgeous snakes, and tastes will vary incredibly...

    For me it's old world rats, white lipped pythons, amethystine pythons, ringed pythons, papuan olive python...I can keep going and not pick a favorite.

    Green Tree Python!

    They can be somewhat temperamental, but many are quite docile and are readily handled. They need a bit higher humidity, but overall are very easy to keep. And it's nice having a snake that doesn't want to hide under a rock all day, lol...
