As far as pythons go, I like ringed pythons alot. I have had great success with keeping them. They have tons of personality and are very under-rated in the overall herp community. They are variable in pattern but no morphs have come into play that I know of *YET*!



Ball pythons are nice but are being massively produced, used & abused for profit, which I'm not sure I entirely support as of now. Although some of the morphs are gorgeous, just way out of a reasonable price range. Anyone thinking of pythons, ringed pythons are truly magnificent animals with little or no attention they deserve. As hatchlings, they have fantastic colors, which darken with a super iridescence, second to none (except maybe Boelen's pythons..but good luck finding those!).



If you want to stay with colubrids, I like Pituophis (Pine, gopher and bull snakes). They seem to have just as big a following as corns due with respect to the various morphs. Some can get bigger than corns though but there are many good breeders to choose from with quality snakes.



Most boa species require more attention to husbandry which I am currently experiencing with argentine boas.
