>>1. The most beautiful.
Baird's Rats have a subtle beauty that is hard to rival.
Some of the Beauty Snakes are just that, beautiful, although I tend to think the Blue Beauties aren't.
>>2. The most docile.
Captive born Cornsnakes and Baird's rats are pretty hard to beat, although some of the smaller old world species (e.g. bilineata, dione) are pretty docile as well.
Russian rats are certainly worthy of contention in this list.
>>3. The least friendly.
Most Radiated Rats I have had the misfortune to interact with have been worthy of the title "antichrist".
>>4. The most willing feeder.
Obsoleta are hard to beat. The will eat five minutes after you catch them.
>>5. The most picky feeder.
I think the Hundred Flower Snake (mollendorfi) would have to win this title. Wild caught snakes simply don't eat. At least some mandarina will eat.
>>6. The easiest to breed.
Cornsnakes. If you can't breed corns, don't bother trying anything else.
>>7. The toughest to breed.
Aside from the few species that are practically unknown (perlacea, etc.) I think the Hundred Flower Snake would have to win again. ----- Chris Harrison
