you choose

[Detroit Boas]

If you could own any three species of snakes what would you choose?

[emroul]

Oooh, man what a tough call. Well, my first and number one answer would be Python regius, my second will have to be Crotalus tigris, and my third choice would be...Hmm... Python anchietae

Whew, there are SOOO many others, but since I only had three choices, those are them!

i would have to say 1-coastal carpets for 1 simple reason Jaguars.I think we will see more morphs and colors in this species in the next 4 years.2-Jamaican boas.These guys are on the CITES list for endangerment.I would like to increase the population.3-albinow rainbow boas.Another that is on the rise with morphs and colors.

[Dr Alan]

1. Drymarchon corais couperi

2. Morelia viridis

3. Python reticulatus

[Detroit Boas]

Just out of curiosoty has any body seen the new phase of the hypo Jags?

[Luchog]

I'm really not that big on keeping the large snakes; though Retics are probably my second favorite snake; and if i had the resources and crew necessary; i would love to own at least one Super Tiger Retic. Maybe when there's a good dwarf genotype produced. The only other designer snake I'd want is a snow (leucystic) Royal Python. Probably cost more than I'll ever be able to afford, however; and there's still no solid bloodline for them that i'm aware of.

More realistically, the ones i want most are native North American snakes.

Eastern Indigoes (Drymarchon corais couperi) - Native to Florida and parts of Georgia. I definitely plan on owning and hopefully breeding Indigoes someday. From what i've read, they're probably more work than any other snake aside from the big ones.

Rubber Boas (Charina bottae) - One of the smallest of the boidae, they're native to the Pacific NW. Despite being a PNW native myself, I've never actually seen one in the wild. Beautiful little snakes, though. Can also somewhat tricky to care for, since they prefer cooler temps than most snakes.

Now I really dont know A LOT about snakes :oops: but an albino ball python is my first,columbian boa my second,and an anaconda my last, I may never afford an albino,and an anaconda would be just tooooooooooo big but never the less these are my picks :)

[alexhue]

[CornCrazy]

That snake is simply gorgeous! It's one of the ones on my wish list. I have several I want to get, but it may take me a couple of years...

As for the top three I'd want:
1. Piebald Ball Pythons (I probably won't ever have these because of the cost)
2. Kenyan Sand Boas
3. Brazilian Rainbow Boas

[ChaosCat]

Lets see. (in no particular order)

Boelen's Python

Indigo Snake (Texas or Eastern)

Albino Monacled Cobra (this one will probably be a never in my lifetime-but I can gaze at photos on the web!)

Alex, I have one mex. black king right now-and wouldn't part with him! He's one of the most gorgeous snakes I have ever owned.

Wow, I may have to get one of those too. Beautiful snake.

But that would be along with, rather than instead of, Indigoes (I prefer the Eastern to the Western/Texas subspecies). My interest in Indigoes is as much for what they are, and their "Threatened" status, as it is for looks. I believe there should be more establised, experienced breeders available -- hard to do, considering how difficult they are to breed.

You know, I had only planned to end up with a very few snakes. Y'all are not making this easy. :)

[hevychevy427]

Yes I have a pair of Black Mex Kings...My female is due to lay eggs anytime ( I Hope) They make fantastic pets...great temperments and very beautiful.
I would have
1 My Black Mex King
2 Aurora House Snake
3 Chocolate Emory
Nancy

[«SôùlHø®ïzôÑ»]

Hmmmmm

If cost and space were of no concern? Then these 3;

1.Black Mamba
2.Anaconda
3.Cobalt Blue Sea Snake

And if money were a concern,which it always is, then;

1.Ghost Corn
2.Emerald Tree Boa
3.Eastern Indigo

[JenHarrison]

I would want my ball python Spoon, albino RTB, and a normal burmese python. :D

[burium]

1. Children's pythons
2. Mex black Kings
3. Emerald tree boa

Kelly

[brent_strande]

#1 definitely would have to be Jungle Carpet Pythons,

followed closely by #2 albino boa,

and my third choice would probably end up being a GTP...


So far I have two of the three on my list, and I would like to have my BRBs on the list, but a GTP would make an awesome display! The brbs only display when you have them out!!

[ta2dshtrbug]

Since you said 3 species only not 3 specimens only, I'm basing my first pick on number of morphs available. So:
1. Corns
2. Kenyan Sand Boas
3. Dumeril's Boas

[gardenmum]

Well, let's see.

1) corns - love them and wouldn't not have them

2) Columbians - have two normals but my dream is having a Salmon but at the price I will have to wait.

3) Rainbow Boa - just love their colors

[robertmcphee]

All BCI

T-positive Female Nicaraguan boa
Motley female Nicaraguan boa
T-positive super motley male Nicaraguan Boa

This is my dream breeding trio....
The possibilities would be endless!!!!!

Bob

[bassett524]

[Kagome100]

1. Albino BP
2. Albino corn
3. Any type of milk.

I have a Normal BP and a milk snake but I would love another type of milk.

[dragon501]

If cost was not an issue I would say the winners are
1. Black-headed python
2. Angolan python
3. Pied ball python
Someday I might have them if I either one hit the lottery or two find Merlins staff.
Can only dream til then

[sircat]

1. Albino and/or Piebald ball python
2. Jungle Carpet Python
3. Hogg's Island Boa (light colored that stay peach/pink)
