"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."

Oh yeah... and sand boas... but at this point they're almost more of a curse than a favorite snake- something I just have to live with... I have something like 30 of them.

Chinese King cobra
second choice Coral cobra L. Lubricus
third Gabby

Wild encounter: Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Crotalus adamanteus
Nothing compares with the commanding presence of a large adamanteus.
Captive: African Coral Snake
Aspidelaps lubricus lubricus
These colorful little snakes lend themselves beautifully to an artistic natural display cage.
Just my opinion,

My favs are Chinese pit vipers, followed by S.A. lanceheads.

It's a tie between: Python reticulatus, Eunectes murinus, Heterodon, Lachesis, Naja, Ophiophagus, Crotalus, large Bitis, Pseudohaje, Dendroaspis, etc.... I really love them all...

I have been particularly obsessed with Bitis Parviocula. Can't wait to get a pair.

Say Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't actually own any hots, but I'm always in this forum looking for pics of atheris (especially squamigera). I think they're absolutely adorable.

I'm not to crazy about the idea of hybridization (and really don't want to discuss it here) but the Gaboon/Rhino viper hybrid sure is a cool looking snake. That being said, my favorite venomous species would be the Gaboon Viper. My favorite non-venomous snake is the Black-headed python.

Hard question, but impossible to resist answering to. I would say that at the moment, my favorite genera are Oxyuranus, Dendroaspis (especially D. polylepis, ouch!), Ophiophagus, Crotalus, and Naja...that enough for you? Non venomous includes Epicrates cenchria (beautiful snakes), retics, kingsnakes, and um...Eunectes, both species.

Haha, don't you love my mixed usage of both common and latin names, haha, i can't ever be consistent.
