Uncommon/Underrated Snakes?

[paulh]

Garter snakes, bullsnakes and the African house snakes.

Junk snakes = the snakes that live out behind my barn.
Exotic and desirable snakes = the snakes that live out behind someone's barn a thousand miles away.

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

Yeah, they're very similar as far as docile temperaments and husbandry, they just get a bit bigger than balls without getting to the size of burms and retics.

Saw that today. Was way too close to making a bad decision.

It's very pretty, but for me, there's a really big difference between admiring something & actually wanting to live with it.

Gabino Vipers

They're actually called Gaboon Vipers. One of the most lethal venomous snakes out there.

No, what was shown was a Gabino. This is a hybrid of the Gaboon viper and Rhinoceros Viper. And yes, potent, but not one of the most lethal.

I stand corrected. Apologies.

And I was under the belief that drop for drop their venom is among the most lethal. If I'm wrong I apologize. I try not to share info unless I'm confident I'm right. There's already enough false info on the internet, I don't need to be adding to it. Hahhahaa.

very carefully, she'd take it from between my fingers, without pouncing & as if "she knew" to be careful.

That would be cool to see.

I've always like the look of a Mandarin Rat. Never seen one first hand but the videos et al, the yellow and black is just radiant. And I'm not even a Steelers fan.

While I haven't kept any (yet ), Savu pythons seem like an underrated snake. All the fun and beauty of Liasis pythons in a small, apartment-friendly package.
