Hmm. Hmm. T.radix by far. Followed my T.ordinoides.

[BUSHSNAKE]

Obscurus would have to be my favorite....with many that follow

[RedSidedSPR]

Concinnus, no doubt.

Followed by parietalis. (which would likely change if I ever got to work with radix or some of the other snakes with awesome personalities)

[Greg'sGarters]

So far right now all I have is sirtalis and proximus. I definitely want a nice radix. I'm not sure if I want to breed them yet. I like to keep snakes as a pet and get used to their behavior before I decide to breed them. But from what I heard is that they are usually pretty nice and like being handled. Sirtalis are very nice snakes (although occasionally I get an aggressive or pregnant [usually defensive when pregnant] one) but being sirtalis, they do get scared easily. When you first get them out of the cage, they are usually very jumpy, but they do calm down after about 30 seconds if you handle them calmly. But don't spook them or they start thrashing and musing again. Unless they are aggressive, they usually don't want to bite and often use it only as a last resort.

I remember there being a oldest and most favorite snakes and red sideds were among the favorites. lets see if they can keep the title

but my favorite is my 3 year old radix, Serpent

[RedSidedSPR]

Red sideds are a close second for me, as I said. I've always loved them.

Almost put down red sided, just cuz I've always loved them, but didn't.

Also I retract the "that may change" statement I made, they'll also be a favorite of mine. Hope to expand my red sided collection as much as any species..

but I just gotta choose concinnus due to personality among other things, and mostly the fact that my favorite snake of mine is my concinnus, Rooster.
