It goes without saying that Gonyosoma oxycephala is my favorite ratsnake. Now that true CBB specimens are being produced I believe they will be very popular in the near future. I also have to say I'm quite surprised at how tame my CBB specimens are despite no effort on my part to tame them down. Honestly I like them a bit feisty, but I digress.

Two other "ratsnakes" that I really like are the Seleyar G. janseni (i.e. Black Jansen's Ratsnake) and the Rhynchophis boulengeri. The latter I truely think will be extremely popular. They are easy to keep and make for a smallish arboreal display animal. Not the easiest snakes to get started as hatchlings but that's the only negative I can think of. I think they are a great project for the breeder who does not mind hanging onto hatchlines for a while and getting them started.
