Uncommon/Underrated Snakes?

[TopazEye]

I think most kinds of rat snakes are way under-rated. People know about corn snakes, & yes, they're great but many aren't aware of things like Baird's & Trans Pecos
rat snakes that make great pets, or even Everglades rat snakes (talk about bright orange!). In fact, that's why I chose my handle here- Bogertophis subocularis is a
Trans Pecos rat snake...I figured some might be curious & look it up. Some rat snakes are feistier than others, & knowing that this forum's focus is on ball pythons-
a notoriously docile snake- may I once again heartily recommend both Baird's & Trans Pecos rat snakes for those wanting a mid-side and docile pet, other than a
ball python.

Australian spotted pythons are in this category too, though some have said theirs are nippy, I haven't found that at all with the one I've kept for 10+ years so far.

Trans Pecos are beautiful, I'm partial to larger snakes but if I ever got another smaller coloubrid they would be on my list.

Id really love to see Angolan Pythons more readily available.

I actually had to look these up. They almost look like a bit like a BP. Really cool looking pythons.

Dumerils boas, they’re perfectly sized and extremely docile. There aren’t many breeders though and no morphs that I’m aware of. There’s definitely opportunity with breeding them as people look for something “new”. I think BP have become so popular that some avoid them because they’re too common, so something medium sized and uncommon might have higher demand.

Durmerils are a snake I considered before getting my BP, very nice although I wish they had morphs. An albino durm would be sick.
