I am sure this has been asked before, but I could not find the thread, and sometimes it changes...so...
I would have posted this, in the photo gallery section, but posted it here instead, in case someone's favorite is not a corn.
As the title says, who is your favorite snake? Not which morph, or type... but what snake in your collection is your favorite. I am sure it's hard to say, but I think that deep down we all have one that is a favorite.
( Please include a brief decription, and why!)


I'll start here is mine:Buttercream?
He is my favorite because even though he is absolutely HUGE he has never bitten me! (LOL!) No Seriously:angry01:. He rarely refuses a meal. And though he is big, he is very docile. I also like the dark borders around his saddles.

My favorite is Jasmine. She is my King Ratsnake. She is a beautiful snake! She is sometimes a pain in my ass but she is over all very sweet and I love her to death!

Beautiful buttercream!!!! And I definitely want a nice big ol leucy someday!



Here's my favorite- Paddy the python. She's kind of doopy, but has a gentle, simple personality. Never bitten and probably doesn't know how to (judging by her terrible aim when it comes to eating)! :D

ps. I hate choosing between them!! :p
 
Vanay! Love her to death, absolutely my favorite corn. Suspected homozygous anery-charcoal (use-name of graphite "in house") that was a petco find!

She's changed a very very great deal since I got her and she's about 7 months old now.

Well, I loooooove my new GTP's, being my favorite species of snake...but I think Lestat, my hypo lav cornsnake is my favorite. He was my first and started this whole thing. He is a sweetie pie too!

I don't have any recent pictures, this one is from a few months ago.

Well for now...my one and only Donatello!

He's an awesome first snake, does everything right and on time, and loves being held!
Currently 3 months old :D

He is the start to the addiction ;)
 
This is a tough one for me. If I absolutely had to choose, I would say it's Joakim, my '08 Black Milk. He's got the most personality, and he is a fascinating little guy. A very close second would be my '07 Normal Motley, who was my first snake. Here's Joakim as a hatchling a little over a year ago, and a recent shot:

I've got 80+ favorites. I simply CAN'T pick just one. I can narrow it down to 5 that are favored due to their attitudes.

Josie - Pastel BCI

Luci - Snow corn

Shesmu - Burm

Ares - Ghost corn

Who tough decision...

Hmmm... all of ours a quite nice... with one exception. (VBB obviously) My favorite would probably be my first. Dr. Shakalu, my TBS. She is an all around great snake. Strong feeder, friendly, and smart! She is super curious and out going. She has her occasional asian rat snake moments, but with age they have faded for the most part. She is about 8 years old and give or take about 7 feet. My big baby!

That is pretty tough to choose, but it would probably be my female Thamnophis sirtilis pickeringi or Puget Sound garter, Tikki. She loves being held & is an all around good natured snake. I don't have any really good pictures of her, this one shows her colors well. She got an eye infection just days after I got her & lost the use of that eye. She's also my miracle snake as the vet. didn't expect her to live.

I really can't pick a favorite. Just about all of my snakes are sweet by nature, with the exception of a very "food aggressive?" Anery (which I got as an adult, so I couldn't really have a hand in "taming"), and my female JCP who also gets a little excited around meal time (but is a doll once you don't smell like you've been feeding). My Nelson's is a bit flighty (but young, and steadily improving), and my Miami is not the most relaxed when you take her out either (got her as a sub-adult), but all are very gentle once they are being handled.

My most special is my Ghost, as he was my first snake (thus the most handled), and he eats with no hesitation, yet no aggression either. He is just my big love of a Corn Snake, and the true essence of why I love snake keeping.

And my current "love to hold the most" snake is definitely my Woma. I've heard/read that feeding them brings out a whole other response to their otherwise calm, relaxed demeanor, but he won't even strike, let alone coil around his food. He's thicker bodied, so handling is such a joy. He is SO curious and fun to watch as he explores his surroundings, yet content to just sit on the computer with.

Some excellent examples here folks &, most important, the photo's show them to their best advantage.

Do I pick the snake that will sit with me calmly for hours on end? The snake that "likes" me the best and is a joy to have out? Or the snake that is a little terror and will flail herself right off the bed with the force of her un-coordinated strikes?

The last one, definitely.

They are all my favorite, really. It kind of changes day to day, and who is being a pain-in-the-neck about eating.
 
I wish this question was harder to answer...but it's definitely my blizzard, Jimmy. He's my first cornsnake, loves to be held, never refuses a meal, never has a bad shed (just jinxed it all, huh?), and even loves my dog.

He's even helped a few people get over their snake phobias!

My ball python has the best temperament, ever. My BRB is gorgeous and feels like silk running through my fingers. My CRB is such a sweet boy that went through such a rough time. My little ringnecks are just so tiny and cute. My Sunglow corn is the one that started it all, and he has such a spunky personality. I love all of my babies!

But my favorite, if you promise not to tell the others...

Definitely my little "Penis Head" baby that I have posted before. My first baby ever hatched. She was accidentally pulled out of the egg prematurely and had a rough start, but she's doing great now.
