I'm easy to please.

I'd want Sunbeam snakes (Xenopeltis unicolor), Tentacled snakes (Erpeton tentaculatum).

And maybe a bit of a weird one, but I also love Eyelash Boas (Trachyboa boulengeri).

For me it will be a FWC or a blue Malaysian coral snake.

@Mrs s`mee.
Do you keep reptiles because you want to make money or because you love the animal?

I keep reptiles because i love them.

Westley your 3 choices are just awesome! They're all very exclusive and different :)

I'd like a five meter common brown house snake. Browns are miniature pythons but why not have a non miniature one :)
1.0-reticulated python (Ripcord)
1.1-burmese pythons
5.5-brown house snakes
1.0-taiwanese ratsnake
3.8-BCI
1.1-corn snakes
1.2-rhombic skaapstekers
1.0-yellow rat snake

What is strange is that a number of these animals will be for sale at the SOS expo.

I wonder if I am just jaded when i see people ultimate snake being something I have kept but so longer do?

Possibly I should be more appreciative of the privileges I have been afforded in the past.

Locally - Dendroaspis polylepis - Black Mamba - no doubt the ultimate SA venomous snake to keep. Other - Inland Taipan
Snakes caring for me:

0.1 Boaedon capensis (Brown house snake)
1.0 Lycodonomorphus inornatus (Olive ground snake)
1.0 Pseudaspis cana (Mole snake)
1.1 Dispholidus typus (Boomslang)
0.1 Naja annulifera (Snouted cobra)
