I don't have much experience with different species, but I think my eastern king is very intelligent. When I open the cage with a hook (yes, I need a hook for this snake), she freaks out. When she sees (or smells) a mouse, she lifts her head and tries to "fly up to the mouse."

I think that snakes with variable temperaments tend to be more intelligent. They seem to know how to control their own actions, while we often assume that snakes always simply act on reflex.
