The best species of snake, for a pet?????

that ones my lucky girl mike! shes got the horseshoe on her nose and all! ;)

lets hope she puts that in effect next year when she gives me hmm lets say maybe 50 eggs? :p
She's a good looking girl, Ryan...
One of our first time layers done 14 slugs last week.....
But one of our proven girls done 17 plump and one slug this week...
We still have 4 to go, and the Bredli is an unknown at the moment....
Next round of eggs is the 2nd week in May, fingers crossed...
 
I may save up for a diamond python
Oooooo, good choice.
I need to find one or two to carry on my projects...I don't know how much they go for in the states, but over here they are sought after, so not cheap....
That pic I put up earlier is Diamond x Jag, they are both good snakes to add something special into any mix..... Together they are stunning....
Here's a Diamond x Jungle from last year....
Every shed and the yellows look more like Gems.. LOL

Thats not good enough....
I want reasons to rate the snake the best ONE for pets...

Pshhhh it's more than enough ;) No more need be said. Just buy candoia, cause I said so and stuff.

No in all seriousness I think Candoia paulsoni (Solomon Isle ground boas) are the ideal pet. They are chunky hardy strong animals, yet still a perfectly compact size for a boid. Their head shape and scale formation is simply beautiful and smooth to the touch. I love silky smooth snakes.

They come in a fantastic array of natural colour mutations, there are NO morphs per say. I like natural coloured snakes.

They generally have a powerful feeding response which is always great in any species of snake.

They are generally puppy dawg tame. I know my lot are (and I have a few). They are my favorite snakes to just chill out with.

They make great active display animals and are quite arboreal.

They are utterly fascinating. So little is known about them. They are soooo worth keeping in captivity because unlike the majority of the popular pet snakes mentioned in this thread, candoia really do need to be bred in captivity. So few people are successful with them :( There is not an over abundance of them which makes them such a delight to see in other peoples collections and it really is a special moment when someone gets a healthy litter of babies. Fingers crossed for my two gravid carinata lassies!
 
Thats better, some reasons for your choice.....
Your wrong,;) but you like them, and thats what this thread is about.....
Reasons for your choice, regardless of what the masses think.....
