Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

MANGROVE SNAKES
Mangrove snakes are very aggressive and will be tempted to bite, They are almost blind during the day, but if you stick your hand in its tank in the dark, dont expect him to greet you with a handshake!

... And notorious for being a bit on the delicate side, meaning that they are not an appropriate species to take out of an enclosure and shove into a high stress high stimulus situation in public. Their health will suffer.

Wouldn't it have been a good idea to ask exactly what he planned on doing with the animals before throwing out suggestions?

I had pretty much forgotten about this thread. Sometimes I can be a pretty smart guy though, the quote above was absolute brilliance for example.

Not all mangroves are that fiesty...I have a female who is *pretty* docile, though she will get a bit nasty if messed around with too much...overall though, she has a really good temperment (I've kept nastier kingsnakes). She is CBB though, and that DOES make a difference. They won't kill you with their venom, but it can ruin a day very easily (fortunately I haven't felt this firsthand), and bites should be avoided.
As for being blind during the day (I agree with S.H. on this)...WHAT? They are nocturnal by nature, but that surely doesn't mean they are blind during the day...I'd bet there are very few if any animals in the world that lose their vision by daylight and then magically regain it by nightime. A more accurate statement would be that they have "enhanced" vision by night, which I have noticed myself. They are also much more active at night.
I know others have asked this question, and I have to myself, what kind of "stunt" exactly are you trying to pull? I surely hope that you have put the safety and well being of the animal into consideration before you plan on doing anything at all.

A few options........
Every adult mexican black kingsnake (l.g.nigritus) I have ever owned was a maniac! A feeding response, no doubt, but still quite aggressive, nonetheless. As soon as we open the cage.....whammo! Out they come!
Others I would recommend:
African Rock Python (if you're going for size)
Red-Tailed Green Ratsnakes (bright green, and full of fire!)
Some bullsnakes can be quite aggressive, but usually the WC ones, rather than a long-term captive.
Racers are a good bet, maybe black racers in particular, and blues are reliably aggressive.
Anyway, there are a few. Good luck.......and what is the "stunt"?
