ooo I will be interested in everyone's responses to this!
I have none snakeypies :(
But still, to quote a lolcat........ WANT
I've been so busy the last month or so, school and dance, and work have been taking up all my time. I thought to myself 'this is a good thing, get busy and consumed with something else, and then if your desire to have a snake goes away then you know it was just a 'thing' you were going through'........... well it hasn't gone away! Mind you, I've been occupied enough that I don't think about it constantly, but every time I see a snake on tv, or see this tribe as I'm checking messages I think "boo to not being able to own one yet!".
Hopefully one day soon.
In the mean time I shall live vicariously through all of you :)

I have two snakes. One male bp (Titus) and one female Caulkers Cay Boa (Innana). There is no way that I could pick a favorite one I love them both!! I would love to have a rainbow boa. I have not danced with my snakes at a show, but would love to one day. I will keep practicing with them until then. I have not planed on breeding them, I would have to find someone else close to accomplish that task.

1. I have 6 snakes at home, and one on loan at my husband's office.
2. I have 4 ball pythons at home (one of which is a pastel, and two of which are rescue snakes). I also have two blair's phase gray-banded kingsnakes (one is a Radio Tower locale - which means he's a light slate gray with bright orange, and the other is a Crockett County locale - which means he's almost black with bright orange). The one at the office is a very friendly Mexican Black kingsnake.
3. Boris, my slate gray & orange gray-banded king is my favorite, as he was my first snake. And since I started with the kings, I love their energy when we're dancing together. (The ball pythons are my daughter's favorites, and her dancing partners.)
4. A 6 foot gray-banded kingsnake with the heavier body of the ball python - no such thing! :)
5. Boris - we just know each other so well now after dancing together 6 years.
6. Nope - I'd like to breed gray-bandeds, but you REALLY have to know what you're doing with them, 'cause if you put them together when they're not in the mood for breeding. one might eat the other. I couldn't bear that! :)

I have 1 redtail boa but live with 3 ball pythons and several other reptiles (belonging to my boyfriend)
Nephthys is my favorite of all the snakes I have ever had the pleasure of living with over the years.
The only other snake that I'd like to have is a savu python.
Nephthys and I do not curretly dance together as she is recovering from some nasty rat bites (before we met). I am hoping that as she heals more she'll be a dancer.
I have no intentions to breed my snake.

1. 10
2. BCO-BCI's- BP's-BRB-PMM (pine snake)
3. My first snake Rashwan BP
4. If they ever breed a tiny Bermese Python, you know one that only gets around 6-7 ft I love one. LOL
5. Osiris
6. I am in the process of breeding BCI's My Pastel to a Hypo

1. 7 snakes currently own me :)

2. 2 Big Boas (common boas), 2 ball pythons, 1 Honduran Milksnake , 2 smaller boas (likely bci)

3. Hard to say which one I love the most! I love the boas due to their demeanor, they love to be handled, and are so calm and gentle and lazy! The Milksnake is such a character, like a little kid on too much sugar (spazzy snake!), and my BPs are so timid that I really have to take my time with them, sometime I rarely do for myself so it has double good effect to handle them).

4. To have my Reggie back with me. I miss that snake!

5. Since Reggie died, Autolycus has become my newest dance partner:

people.tribe.net/altaira/p...2bc5acaebe

6. Not interested in breeding. No offense to the breeders out there but after working in rescue and seeing how many
'cute babies' end up without homes once they 'grow up' and become full sized, I am totally against breeding (outside of conservation breeding).

1. How many snakes do you own? As of this weekend, 10
2. What kind of snakes do you own? 2 Rosy boas, 2 pure Columbian Red Tails, 2 Columbian Red Tail Morphs, 1 Gray banded King snake, 1 Sumatran Blood Python and 1 Ball Python
3. What is your favorite and why? >dont tell< my favorite snake is Narah, shes a boa morph and the snake I have owned the longes
4. If I could have any snake I wanted it would be a: Albino Red Tail
5. Your favorite snake dance partner? Narah, Hanesh, Manasa and Akasha
6. Do you breed or plan on breeding you snakes? Nope.

1. Three
2. Adult amel corn snake (Tango), Young Guyanan BCC boa (Khan - currently just over 4ft long), and an Adult Guyanan BCC boa (Sheba - 6.5ft)
3. Khan because I've had him since he was tiny and he's so laid back!
4. Sharp strain albino boa (which I'm currently saving up for!) I'd also love a snow boa, or a leucistic royal python - but would never be able to afford one unless I won the lottery!
5. I've only danced with Tango so far, Khan will be my first proper dance partner once he's a bit bigger.
6. I plan to breed BCC's next year hopefully. Once I have my sharp albino, and a hypo het albino partner for her I also plan on breeding them a few years down the line (het albino, albino, and possibly some Sharp sunglow offspring from those!)
I'm stopping at the 4 boas as I think that'll be my limit really, plus I couldn't really fit any more in my reptile room!
I also plan to breed the BCCs one year, and Albino's the following year (and keep alternating) - so each mother has a year off to recuperate... plus it won't be so many babies for me to manage all at once too!!

Wow what a cool questionaire! I love reading the responses. As for me I only have 1 snake (nonmorph BCI) female named Naga. She's about 1 year and 8 months old now and is roughly 5 feet long though I haven't measured her lately. She's mostly a sweet thing but I made the newbie mistake of feeding her in her cage when she was younger and though things were fine for the first couple of months she soon learned that when the lid came off it was most likely time for dinner. She has a grand appetite and will often strike at the glass even before the lid comes totally off. Sigh. She's gotten me once before when it first started happening but I'm careful now. I have been giving her rats a little bit larger than her girth every 7 days so I am pretty sure it's not starvation. Anyway once she knows it's not food time, she settles down and goes about her business when she's out so I don't worry about her biting me then. I just need to kind of deflect her with a stick until she realizes it's not dinner time. I recently was able to purchase the right size tub to feed her in. How long do you think she'll realize THAT's the box to eat from and for her to stop striking in her actual cage? We're planning to move at the end of the year and when we get our new house, my hubby is going to build her, her permanent cage witch will have front access instead of top access. I'm hoping that'll switch her up too.

Anyway, back to the questionaire.

1. one snake
2. BCI. I closely work with a eastern kingsnake, a red rat snake, and an albino red rat snake. Soon well be adding indigo snake to our collection!!!
3. Wow that's hard. Though I have to say BCI's are my favorite. I like their temperment as a general rule. Even though mine is a biter I understand it was all my fault. Perhaps if I had the time to handle her more often than I do she might not have gotten that habit in the first place. Also if I knew about the strike box that would've solved all issues to begin with.
4. Ohhh, any snake? A cobra. Really, any cobra lol. Realistically and well for me unstupidly I would love to have a Burm if it was a dwarf. I love retics too but even as a dwarf they're a bit too big for me. If I won the lottery I'd so get a spider morph royal python.
5. I have in the works a plan to get my snake used to dancing with me. I just need to get off my lazy butt and do it. I have danced with my work partner pearl the albino rat snake so that satisfied my cravings lol. She's a striking partner because you can barely see any markings and so she's pure white. Plus she's a good five feet long to boot!
6. No, and most likely wont.
