Well I cant really say I have a favorite snake, but a favorite group! The North American rat snakes. Then the second place would be the North American king snakes.

I really enjoy looking at all the native snakes, but rats and kings are for me the top of the list. (The North American milks fall into the king category for me!!)

Check it out!

High contrast albino and lavender albino ball pythons.

Anacondas since I was a kid. Back then cuz they were the biggest, but after seeing the actual animals, it's everything about them, the colours, patturn, size, ect

My favorites are the Garter Snakes. I currently have 9 varieties including some not as common in captivity but desirable. If I had to choose 1 genus it would be Thamnophis. I am especially interested in Western species/subspecies. I am also fond of Mountain Kings (particularly zonata), Mexican Night Snakes, and I might get some of the Mexican species of Pituophis like deppei or jani.

1.1 Thamnophis atratus atratus (unique, difficult for Garters)
1.1 ? T cyrtopsis ocellatus (beutiful and hardy, a fav)
1.0.2 T elegans terrestris (nice browns, very hardy)
1.1 T elegans vagrans (melanistic and het)(1 is shy/finicky)
1.2.1 T radix (het, x-mas, and red albino)
0.0.2 T sirtalus annectens (drab, supposed to color up with age)
1.1 ? T sirtalus concinnus (absolutly gorgeous, a fav)
1.1.1 T sirtalus parietalis
1.1 T sirtalus similis (very blue,very nervous)
0.0.1 unkeyed Ribbon snake (thrives on pinkies)

2.2 Elaphe flavirufa flavirufa (anerythristic and het, favs)
1.1.2 Charina bottae (intermitent feeders, slow growth)
1.2 Lampropeltis pyromelana knoblocki
1.0 Lampropeltis zonata agalma
1.1 Lampropeltis zonata multicincta (very nervous, favs)
1.2 Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli
0.0.1 Arizona elegans eburnata
0.0.1 Salvadora hexalepis mojavensis (ltc and still mean)
0.0.1 Lampropeltis getulus californiae
1.0 Lampropeltus getulus nigrita (cool snake, needs a mate)
0.0.1 Pituophis melanoleucus deserticola (nice looking)
Boa constrictor, unk subspecies (adopted from animal shelter)

Some of these are planned breeding projects but I am not interested in commercial breeding, simply an interested hobbyist.

I also keep a few varieties of lizards (love ground geckos) and I have various salamanders. Salamanders are a prime interest of mine along with the Thamnophis. I might get into some North American Skinks in the future and maybe some of the small terrestrial snakes.

Thanks for letting me share,

Randy
