Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I would have to say it's my male San Luis Potosi a classic (L. mex mex). Reasons would be the head pattern on these mex mex is second to none and it's temperment. Ever since I've had this male as a baby he's been the mellowist and best handling snake of all I've owned in the past.
It's hard to choose in mexicana subspecies, I've seen a lot of eye candy here in this forum especially some thayeri.

So what's your favorite mexicana you have?
Post a pic if you have one and not the one that got away, but one currently in your collection. We all have some we prefer or are partial to than others, it would be cool to hear.

It is virtually impossible to choose which Mexicana is my favorite.
I have many yearlings and subadults that are not showing their full potential. I also keep all subspecies of mexicana in which I still include Ruthveni and Alterna. I like them all and none are really my favorite. It changes every time I look at them all...LOL
I really like the Mexmex variations and Thayeri will be my all time favorite, but there is no way in hell I can pinpoint my single favorite one.....LOL
I can say that this one could probably be my favorite from my 2002 breedings though. Maybe next year when she is bred to her sibling brother I will have some offspring that have less black than her......maybe?

And this is why I do not have a favorite Mexmex.....

Chris that thayeri is incredible. Is it the same one pictured on the top of the Mexicana Kingsnakes forum? I am partial to all those light phase bodied thayeri, but that one is really stunning.
John, I knew you'd have trouble coming up with one. lol You're an equal opportunity mexicana lover and it's hard to argue with you given the beauty of this mexicana ssp.

Some other factors besides looks could be;
feeding response (always a good feeder)
temperment
handibility (never musking or being extremely calm when handled)
good breeder
