I have a 2 year old Female BP that is average size... and a 6 foot Red Tail... I could never chooses favorites between my kids... But here is the reasons I love each one individually.

My BP is extremely chill and once she's around my neck she is happy and doesn't want to move. As far as the Lap Dog quality my BP steals that cake for sure. I can set her on my lap... and she will find some way to snuggle up and it literally looks like she falls asleep watching TV. She will stay on me for hours without trying to explore. Occasionally she comes into my ofice with me
becasue I just sit at a desk and she loves being out and about.
If she is not on my neck I make her a little cave under the phone platform on my desk and she curls up in there and pokes her little head out to keep an eye on things. When I am tired and stressed from a long day... Some quality time with my Lucy is always therapudic.

My Red Tail Ziggy is the man!!!... I'm not sure if he is any kind of Morph but his colors seem lighter than other Redtails I have seen. Red Tails are much more Aboreal than BP's meaning they like to move around and climb... and will have a noticable stronger grip than BP's. When I take out Ziggy he has that "Breathtaking" effect on people. Another reaction I get from my surfing buddies is "Bad @$$!!!". He is just so awesome looking and affectionate it's alomost impossible not to be drawn to him. My mom was uncomfortable looking at my snakes and when I took out my BP she passed on holding him... When I took out Ziggy she was so amazed by him she overcame her fear and asked to hold him to experience his grip. He is so explorative and Alert of everything around him. He does have the Lap dog quality but is to much of a handfull to just chill with like my BP, He's like a Rotweiller that loves it on your lap but eventually you have to kick off the couch. His personality is the best. Whenever he meets a new person the first thing he does is move into there face to sniff around and give you a quick kiss to get to know you. He is not head shy like most snakes i have met... and actually is super friendly and absolutley loves human contact... Never once has he showed signs of a striking a person.

As far as the people that come through and look at my animals... The Concensus is that Ziggy is Fav. He is just such a freindly sweetheart at his size... It makes you feel like a Bad Ass when you hold him. Being a bigger snake, he gives you a real understanding about how awesome these animals really are and how much respect they really deserve.
