I am fairly certain anacondas are in the family Boidae

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
I really like elapidae but I could never keep one so I'll choose colubridae

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
I voted Boidae - because I love my rainbow boa! I love her puppy face and slender-yet-substantial body. Of course, I love the structural iridescence as well

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
I voted Colubridae. I decided this is my favorite because a couple days ago I photographed a juvenile racer in my yard and I was fascinated by it. I didn't know what it was but the kind members here helped me to identify it. I find myself thinking about him and these are my thoughts: Good luck little fella, hope to run into you again when you are an adult.

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
Colubridae because of the hoggies, corns, russian rats, indigos... and a lot of the other species!

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
This was tricky to answer. I went with pythons because that's where all the species that I'm most interested in keeping fall. When it comes to admiring from afar though, cobras are amazingly beautiful and quite impressive. And I'll also always have a soft spot for rattlesnakes and garter snakes since those are the ones that I've most often seen in the wild and since they seem so feared and misunderstood by so many people. So I could've easily gone viper or colubrid as well. All the snakes are my favourite! :P

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
Pythons generally because of how docile they can be and the unique patters they can have. Also because of how adventures they can be.

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
Boidae for me BCC / BCI specifically. No morphs, nature does just fine on its own.
Not even a contest. That diamond head shape, size (big but not massive), markings etc. They just really do it for me - tick all the boxes.
For photos just look at some of nightflight's photos in the Boa forum. They're as good as any you'll see in their 'normal' form.

Re: What's your favourite snake family?
I'm a huge fan of diversity, so I'd have to go with Colubridae for this one. It is the most speciose taxonomic family of snakes, and contains about 2,000 currently known species with a practically cosmopolitan distribution.
