In no particular order and only counting 'species' as opposed to morphs;-

'Available' Pythons;

-Boelen's Python
-Anthill Python
-Blackheaded Python
-Angolan Python
-Papuan python

'Available' Boas;-

-Bc longicauda
-Bc sabogae
-A. madagascariensis (with papers)
-A. dumerili (with papers)
-Bc occidentalis (with papers)

Good question and absolutely impossible to answer. This is just a quick list put together without research or too much thought, and I'm well aware that everyone of my quick-pic suggestions could be the subject of heated debate.

There are also many much rarer snakes than the ones listed above, but for practical purposes, such as availability, I didn't consider them, or perhaps I plain overlooked them.

Apologies to the colubrid lovers and to any other groups that I have 'ignored'; maybe we can put together some other lists and then have a play-off at a later date.

I'll throw in one of the rarest obtainable colubrids, Eastern Indigos. Pretty hard to get legally considering they are native to the US. Mark

what about the black eyed leucistic ball python that goes for $200,000.00 us

[tonyj]

I didn't even consider it for inclusion in my list , because after all, it's only another morph of an extremely commonly kept and easy to acquire species.

A rare morph, and an expensive one at that, but not a rare snake.

me and my brother have just sold our fish stuff and came up with almost 5,000$!!!!! I doubt I will blow it all on one snake or something like that though...

hm... wart snakes, elephant trunk snakes, tentacled snakes.
