    Cornsnakes, Milksnakes, Hognoseds, Balls, GTPs, don't know what would come after that though.

    Re: Top 10 most popular snakes?

    Lets see...ball pythons, cornsnakes, red tail boas, kingsnakes, milksnakes, carpet pythons, burmese pythons...um, rosy boas, reticulated pythons, green tree pythons? I'm kinda up in the air after burms...but I'm probably forgetting something obvious.

    Re: Top 10 most popular snakes?

    First Tier (most popular):
    ball pythons
    cornsnakes

    Second Tier (not as popular as first tier):
    boa constrictors
    carpet pythons
    kingsnakes (various species)

    Third Tier:
    retics
    Kenyan sand boas
    rosy boas
    hognoses (western species)
    beauty snakes (various species)

    .....just my opinion, based on my observations.

    I will say.... Corn Snake, Cal King, Milks, Ball, Burms, Retic, Col. Boa, rosy, sand.....I dont know after that. But personally I would not include gtp in the top ten. I know they are popular with hobbyist, but I am going off what I see most commonly offered at pet stores and what I USUALLY see people walking out of shows with ....I would almost say an ATB is more common/popular than the gtp just because of price. Make the day great all!

    Are garters still popular?
    They seemed to be in the early 90s when we had a couple. I don't think they make great pets personally being too small, too fast and Houdini like escape experts.

    There are some garter keepers, but generally not too many people are into them.
