My friend that has been inviting me to her stall at the reptile expos is selling some really beautiful snakes this weekend. The photos are of her actual animals she's selling. A Nuevo Leon Kingsnake (1st), a variable king snake (2nd), rosy boa (3rd), a mexican burrowing snake (4th) that is much prettier in real life with rainbow iridescence, a sweet little viper boa (5th), and a bunch of sand boas from different localities.

She's also usually got captive bred solomon island ground boas, which are some of the coolest little snakes I have experienced first hand. She is the one I sent Clove to live with, for those of you that remember her. Clove is about to lay her second clutch, after producing a really beautiful first litter!

My friend takes excellent care of her snakes, takes care with her breeding projects, and is always available to answer questions and help after sales. She also ships, if you aren't local! I get to visit her collection often, and it's always great to see what she's doing at any given time.

You can check her out at Stygian Exotics and Morph Market!

Long shot, but I am looking for a male Mexican rosy boa (black striped on cream background), similar to my Haloke's color.

Anyone out there in the ether know of any breeders? Or someone looking to re-home (I'm in the SW VA area, but am willing to travel within reason). Only draw back is they must eat f/t. I cannot get live where I am (and just generally do not prefer that route). I've talked with RS at bajaboas, but he only has females of the color variation I want, and most at MM are on live :(

Out into the void this goes!

Also, I upgraded Varya to a new hide and she loves it, so have a pic of her all snuggled down

What's the best first snake?

I wanted to make a more comprehensive guide for determining which beginner snake species might be best for your first! If you're Australian, check out this post for the Australian version.

The best starter snakes:

Cornsnakes! These are probably the all-around best first snake. Corns stay a manageable size (3-4.5 feet on average), are good eaters, have docile personalities, and have very easy care. Corns are my top pick for anyone who's nervous about their first snake.

Corns might be the right first snake for you if: you want a snake that has very easy care, want a diurnal snake, want a very active and curious snake, and want a snake that's easy to handle, especially as an adult.

Kingsnakes! Kings are amazing eaters, pretty smart, and are a delight to handle. They can be a bit nippy, especially as babies, and most bites are mistaken feeding bites (once again, amazing eaters), so if you're nervous about being bitten, they might not be the best choice. They're very active, curious, and fun to watch. Take care with subspecies; most kingsnake subspecies are amazing starter snakes, but do research on the species before buying. Cali kings, Mexican black kings, and most milksnakes are great choices.

Kings might be the right first snake for you if: you want an active, intelligent, and inquisitive diurnal snake, want a snake that will probably always eat well, and don't mind a snake that might bite you from time to time.

Sand boas! Kenyan sand boas are awesome little snakes, and stay quite small, around 2 feet long tops. They're easy to handle and have pretty low-key personalities. The biggest con with sand boas is that they often prefer to spend a lot of their time hiding in their burrows, which can be disappointing for some owners, and it's important to buy a baby that's already eating well because they can be a bit picky.

Sand boas might be right for you if: you want a smaller snake, want a snake with very lenient humidity requirements (perfect if you live in a dry area and are worried about keeping humidity up), and don't mind a snake that might spend a lot of time hiding.

Rosy boas! Same deal as sand boas, but rosies get a bit bigger (max out around 4 feet). They're very tolerant of husbandry mistakes.

Rosy boas might be right for you if: you want a small boa that's a better eater on average than a sand boa, want a snake that's very easy to handle, and want a snake that has super forgiving care requirements.

Ratsnakes! Specifically Japanese, Russian, Baird's, and Dione's ratsnakes (avoid most other species without doing careful research). These species of ratsnakes are known for their easy care and sweet personalities. The biggest issue with rats is they'll need a bigger enclosure compared to their size - rats are super active and love to climb and explore, so if you have limited space, they're not the best choice. They can be a bit nippy, especially as babies, but usually grow out of it very well and quite fast compared to other defensive snake species. They're incredibly hardy, though, possibly even more than cornsnakes - rats are practically bulletproof.

Ratsnakes might be right for you if: you want a very active and curious snake, are prepared to provide lots of enrichment and climbing opportunities, and want a snake with a bit more 'oomph' (they're definitely the ones most prone to acting defensive on this list).

Some great options for more experienced keepers: these don't make the best starter snakes for most people, but they're awesome when you have some experience under your belt! These make great second snakes.

Ball pythons: shy, sensitive, and docile, ball pythons are a delight but don't make the best first snake for most people. They're very sensitive to husbandry errors and need high humidity, making them challenging for many new keepers.

Boa constrictors: their size is the only reason boa constrictors didn't make the best first snake list! BCs are a delight, with awesome personalities, pretty easy care, and great feeding responses. I recommend the smaller Boa constrictor imperator species, which maxes out around 8 feet long. Just be sure you're prepared to provide an enclosure for a large snake!

Pituophis snakes (bullsnakes, gopher snakes, pine snakes): these were also very close to making the best first snake list, but their personalities can make them a challenge for new keepers. They're often little firecrackers when young, and often do best with a keeper who knows how to handle a very nippy and defensive baby snake.

I need some help. I recently picked up five rosy boas to round out my breeding program: a Long Canyon pair (big one is female, baby is male), two Mexican females to go with my Mexican males, and one ghost San Felipe female.

Normally they would be named by now, but work has dismantled my brain and left it with sad pudding, so I need some suggestions. The only two criteria are:

Must start with the letter A.

Prefer mythological, literary, or historical names.

That's all! Suggest away.

[vanillacoolatta]

there are,,,too many to choose from,,

if i gave a top three in no particular order i would say mexican black kingsnakes, rosy boas, and green tree pythons

but i really love any kind of python and like . hognoses are really cute etc etc

i like the big boys,,

one thing,, while most snakes have smooth scales, there are some species that have keeled scales which means each scale has a little ridge running down the middle. to my knowledge every species of garter snakes have keeled scales and some of them (not just garter snakes but it's a keeled scale thing) rub together their scales by coiling up tight and moving fast and it makes this really loud sizzling/hissing sound that scares away predators

also pretty sure everyone on the internet knows about hognoses by now, they're the ones who turn over onto their back and play dead as a defense mechanism lol

also eastern hognoses are also sometimes called "puff adders" because sometimes they puff out their cheeks and pretend to raise up to strike like a cobra,, they aren't venomous to humans but puff adders Are a real kind of dangerous venomous snake so. eek

Top 5 aesthetically pleasing things? :3

Im going to be able to use my own photography! Exciting. My photography is far from the best, but I do take pictures of things I like.

I love cities. All those familiar lights of frequented stores and others still unknown. I love the bustle, the assertive drivers weaving effortlessly. So many options. And you can still be anonymous if you want, slip away from crowds, watch them from afar.

I love cafes, watching people do their thing, focused, isolated yet surrounded, private yet populated.

I love my beautiful son, Kalfu, a mexican rosy boa. I chose him because he's black and white, and because he's easy. I love that color combo, and the parallel stripes are mesmerizing.

I love journaling and tarot cards. My cards are very expressive. A mix of both crisp lineart sketches over amorphous watercolor, light and dark elements.

I love staring at water. Fountains, streams, waterfalls. I actually enjoy doing dishes for the soothing feel of hot water, the soothing sound of running water, the soothing activity of washing things away.

Yup. These are some of my favorite things.
