What is the most beautiful snake in the world? (DUW)

[drugaria]

I think it is selfish in a way to say that one snake is the most beautiful and another is not. There is beauty in every animal on earth and whether a person can see it or not it is up to the individual's criteria and understanding of the word "beauty" .

So, to answer your question I think all snakes are beautiful

I'm just a tad biased....In my opinion the Eastern Indigo is the best looking snake.

It's an old old pic, but it's all I got...

purple albino retic
San Francisco garter snake
Surinam BCC (hey, I'm biased...sue me)

For venomous, without a doubt, copperheads.

Cannot believe no one mention eyelash vipers......

Love these guys.....

I'm also amazed nobody said Eyelashes, Niel. I actually got to see a tiny baby up close and personal. It was gorgeous.

Anyway, I've always adored Gaboons. If they weren't venemous I'd have three. They're absolutely perfect in my opinion.

Otherwise, I'd have to say Black Milksnakes. (I've been looking into getting one but haven't quite talked myself into it yet.) There's a couple of pics here and some info.

My favorite venomous snake is the Gaboon Viper.
My favorite non-venomous snake is the yellow phase Pucallpa, Peruvian redtail boa. Am I allowed to post a pic from another forum that says who's picture it is (Rio Bravo)?

might sound weird but the green tree python looks really cool to me.

As far as hot snakes go I think the old coffin head although very intimidating is in my eyes one of the most gorgeous/sexy snakes on the planet.

As far as the non venemous snakes I really don't know what I would chose, just so many

[janeothejungle]

I'm going sunbeam snakes of a different bent, Xenopeltis unicolor. Can't beat the iridescence...... And they can be held and admired, just not carted around constantly. Well worth the effort.



Of course, I still find fascination in almost all snakes, but for 'wild type' coloring (not morphs), give me the xeno anyday.

Cheers,
Kat

Thanks for sharing that wonderful, old photo again. What a treasure.

AMEN! I feel the same way. Starting the thread was just my way to help me when both my snakes were digesting and couldn't be handled! I love looking when I can't touch!
