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.

Well, corn snakes are my favorite, but I'm into other colubrids as well (e.g. emoryi, rats, kings, milks). Here's my male lavender blood corn:

My favorite lizard is my Bearded Dragon. His name is Jasper and this Feb. he turned 10. not the brightest thing in the world , but what a personality! As for snakes I am hooked on african house snakes(I currently own 17), don't know why. They just flip my crank.

Marjee,
I don't think your approach is all that different. I based my decision (in each grouping, and the final) upon specific animals that I have kept. Puff adders, for example. Not the most attractive venomous species, nor are they known for their calm dispositions...my favorite male was beautiful (IMO), and he was calm, deliberate, and predictable. No, I was never stupid or careless, but he certainly gave the impression that I could have gotten away with it, lol.
I called it a tie between water monitors and American alligators. I have worked with several of each, and found them to be quite personable. I feel that both of them can recognize individual humans, and will behave differently with people that they do (or do not) like. (I'm building my fortress, so I can withstand the barrage of comments that I can already see coming, lol). Add in that they make the best rodent disposals, and you can't go wrong...as long as you have the space to commit.

my favorite animal is without a doubt the komodo dragon . there is just nothing(in my mind) to compare to them . they are big mean and nasty , but i think they represent the top of the food chain no matter what you put them up against .
as far as animals that i have kept , i think mangove monitors are really cool . i had one for 9 years and he was just awesome . he was dog tame and was allowed to roam freely in my house .

JUNKYARD, i love this thread. i would also have to say the boa constrictor, because when i was 4 or 5, i went into this pet shop in florida and saw my first boa. i already had ball pythons at the time, but this boa stole my heart for some reason. i begged my mom for a couple of months to get that boa, and finally she got it for my B-day. i dont think i was ever that happy. the snake was only a baby when i got her, and i had her for about 10 or 11 years. and i had to sell my big baby to move to PA, since we took a bus up here. so now my favorite snake is a BCC insted of a BCI, but in all honestly i love them boath. thanks for reading.

My all time favorite, though I would never ever keep one, has to be the Gaboon Viper. Just the pure beauty of those tan stripes on the top and all the browns and purples but also for those HUGE fangs and ridiculous striking force that you must respect. Even if I became the greatest with a hook I would not keep something that deadly as I would never want to pay the high cost of being struck.

It is hard to pick one because so many are outstanding, but I like my little group of bearded dragons with their personalities.
As far as snakes, the tree boas are interesting and beautiful.
