My Kenyan Sand Boa is an amazing snake. He’s very sweet and the most he’s done is shake his tail as he tries to get away from me. Honestly, when he’s stressed, he tries to burrow into me. He’s never once tried to bite me. Not once. Once you take him out, he’s super active and just a great snake.

Hog nose are a great introductory snake, because of their personality. When I was wee, my dad swerved to avoid something, and pulled over. He had me get out with him and come meet the gopher snake. We handled it for a little bit while he told me about it, then let him go back in the brush, away from the road. I honestly think it’s the heat of the asphalt that attracts them.

For me the answer is 100% a dwarf or super dwarf reticulated Python. Mine is about 2 and a half years old, 7 feet long and she is the most “social” snake I have ever had. She will leave the hide and come up to her glass to greet me, she’s active and explorative, and the most patient snake I have ever handled. She’s weirdly chill about almost everything, not even head shy.

“Let’s talk about North American colubrids!” Yes, please. A whole video on them. There’s so much beautiful variety among them. You have garter snakes, king snakes, corn and rat snakes, bull snakes, plus crazy stuff like indigos, and some that you don’t see as much like smooth green snakes and the teeeeny tiny little ring-necked snakes. A lot of them don’t get nearly as much love as pythons and boas, and I think that’s a shame, since many of them are outgoing and have pretty moderate care requirements.

My female is a yearling that willingly slithers onto my hand to be let out and will happily chill with me on the bed as I watch a movie - she's the most beautiful tempered snake that I own. My other 3 year old male that I found not two days ago on Sunday after he was missing for nearly 6 WEEKS was perfectly handleable even after having no human interaction for that long of a time. They're fantastic little snakes that don't get enough credit

I adore garter snakes and have several living wild on my property (I have a habitat set up specifically for them). Probably my favorite snake, though, is a close relative of the garter snake, the lined snake (Tropidoclonion lineatum). They make lousy pets because they’re nocturnal and fossorial, but they don’t bite and I’ve never been musked by one. DeKay’s Brown snakes look similar, but they are grumpy, nervous and bitey like their watersnake cousins. My favorite pet snake was a black ratsnake that I caught as a hatchling and kept for years.

Species is big when looking for friendly snakes. You also have to meet any snake you want to buy. I have met mean ball pythons, I have a Boa that loves to be around people, Tyler Nolan has a king cobra that gives kisses. Every snake has it's own personality. Some pythons just ball up or wrap up on you and go to sleep, others are interested in socializing, they stay active and curious the whole time they are out. Some pythons are grumps and bite people. Same with Boas.

Based on personal experience, I'd have to include gopher snakes with an honorable mention. My experience picking up a wild one and taking it home (don't do this) when I was in my teens was that it was as handleable as any socialized snake I've interacted with from day one. He was handled by a lot of people in his life and never objected, hissed or bit. That experience was similar to the one Episode on Clint's Reptiles where he picked one up and it was just as chill. We had a bull snake (similar species) get inside at one point last Summer. My housemate was looking for a pillow case and some sort of tongs. I just picked the snake up, carried it outside, and let it go in a safe place for a snake. It didn't hiss or struggle. Hopefully it's still nomming on the plentiful mice in the area.

I believe that some snakes DO like to be handled-at least as much as they "like" anything. It's the warmth of your body that they enjoy. For many species, a 98.6° (Fahrenheit, or 37° Celsius) hand or neck is a cozy place. And maybe your seemingly random petting and stroking adds a bit of enrichment, too.

Yay, African house snakes made it to a list! I have a baby T- albino Cape African House Snake, and she is the most curious little one. I target trained her for food, which only took two feedings for her to learn. And I got her to go to my hand willingly from the enclosure, and explore around my hand. She's also the only snake who escaped from her enclosure. African house snake babies are smarter than you expect and so thin that you can mistake them for sentient shoelaces. She found a cavity in the top cover of her enclosure that was designed for threading cables inside like thermostat cables. But it has an extra space on a blind spot and since I couldn't see it, I didn't plug it there. So I totally agree with number one spot. Just keep in mind that this is the true escape artist. If there are any openings that you can thread a shoelace through, for your own sanity and their safety, cover it.

My African House Snake is my only snake, but even being a baby, he has never so much as hissed or flinched. He's shy, and timid, because he is the size of a soba noodle just now, but he has a curiosity and a docile, non-aggressive temperament. No panic striking, if he's nervous about me changing his water, he'll just quickly excuse himself to slither away and curl up in a hide. House Snakes need more love!

If I had the space or time I would absolutely love a boa for my personal collection.

@@WickensWickedReptiles that's awesome! awesome! Would you ever get a booth at a reptile show, or do you have a massive waiting list and there isn't really much room for it? Also, my son and I are wanting to get a BEL ball python in the future and I think I remember hearing you mention breeding them. If you do, and/or will would you sell them, and if so, how do I get on a waitlist?

My most personable is my corn snake. She seems to like being held and crawling everywhere. Though she's a bit aggressive before she learns that you're not food. I also had an ex with a red tail that I really liked. It seemed to like always being on people, even if it was just for the warmth, and never got aggressive. I've had a couple ball pythons, and while they weren't aggressive, they seem to get more defensive and nervous around other people. But that's just been my experience.

I have garters and hognose I can confirm, Garter snakes are absolutely hilarious pet snakes. my Koya , a blue checkered plays hide and seek with me by whipping the glass with his tail and i have to find him Once I do he does this funny wiggle and i sit back down. We do this for up to an hour and it's the greatest. Hobi is a hognose and he loves to come outand play on my desk while I am playing games after work. he likes to be near my hands/arms. he will tap the glass with his nose and get pissy if I don't take him out for play time.

Sits watching her kids pad together and will fall asleep cuddling her. They might be common but, they're my all time favourite snake 🐍. I'm in Montreal Canada. Absolutely the #1 in my heart ❤️

Yay. I have a black african house snek. Right out of the shipping box, he has never struck, hissed, or done anything except dart away to avoid being held. My only gripe is he is so very nocturnal. I never see him until all lights are off. But maybe he will grow out of that.

I own a half hog island half hypo and he is a sweet boy. His second birthday is tomorrow. He is a stringbean at only 2.5-3 foot and it is a joy to hold him. He is so small compared to normal BIs of his age. He eats like a champ though and is definitely growing! He was also born with a face that is slightly deformed, so maybe it's his genetics. He seems pretty healthy, though :)

Honestly, my foster retic was the best animal i had ever met. She was so tolerant, trusting, and never held a grudge for how often we had to give her shots. She would always want to ‘come over’ to you if you were near her enclosure. She never struck out of fear or mistook for food. One time the vet had to flush her nose. They gave her back and she crawled on my shoulders and just stayed there unmoving. She was done, wanted to go home and be left alone. I was honored that she saw/used me for safety. She passed recently, just too sick. I’ll miss her. I wish i got to see her grow to 15 feet long, but someone didn’t care about her anymore and it lead to a very serious infection that her little heart couldnt take it anymore. I get her ashes soon. I was her forever home all along.
