What is your favorite reptile?

What is your favorite reptile and would you keep it as a pet?

I wouldn't keep anything venomous as a pet even though there are some really pretty venomous snakes.

My favorites I would and have kept as pets are ball pythons, leopard geckos and dumeril's boas.

Update:

Please only answers with REAL reptiles! I'm sure you're just trying to be funny, but I'm looking for serious answers.

    My favourite reptile is the diamondback rattlesnake, I love the predatory instincts of them, I would never have one though as they are too dangerous, I do know a guy who keeps DWA and had a pair once, beautiful albinos and i was able to see (and hear) them up close through the box they were in, stunning snakes and quite an experience for me. My favourite that I DO keep though are the burmese python, beautiful, calm, sweet natured giants, wonderful animals and no aggression at all, definitely my favourites although my chameleon comes a close second

    I love many of the constrictor snakes. Wonderful dispositions. I have had ball pythons but am not comfortable personally with having a larger snake.

    Favorite venomous snake has always been the king cobra. So majestic, deadly, and intelligent all at once.

    An animal I took in but could not ultimately keep that I ADORED was a burton's legless lizard. Looks like a snake but acts like a lizard. He liked to perch on my shoulder (with my help) and look around. Could lick over his head with his huge tongue. I sadly could not keep him because he only ate live snakes and anoles. Could not afford to feed him two live anoles/week. They eat in a similar fashion to snakes, though they do not constrict. Swallow prey whole, can open their mouths the widest of any lizard species: nearly 180 degrees! Smoothest skin I ever felt on a reptile. <3 While I loved him dearly, I do not recommend them as pets for the vast majority of people.

    Here's a few pics of what he looked like:

    My favorite type of reptile is a snake.

    I think snakes are awesome. There are over 2,000 types! Snakes come in all different shapes, and sizes.

    Some snakes are very thick (blood pythons)

    Some snakes are very thin (corn snakes)

    Some snakes are very long (reticulated pythons)

    Some snakes are very short (worm snake)

    Snakes are very cool and all have different personalitys.

    Snakes are my favorite.

    By far my favourite reptiles are snakes, and of snakes my favourite snake is the Brazilian or the Peruvian Rainbow boas. The most beautiful snakes in my opinion. I'm really wanting to get one, but I'm still waiting. But by far one of those two rainbow boas. In my opinion there is nothing better.

    Maybe a komoto dragon or a chameleon. I would keep the chameleon as a pet but obviously not the komoto dragon lol it would eat up all my dogs in a day, probably my nieces and nephews too.

    Turtles they are the calmest of all reptiles. They flow with the liberty, %. and convenience the please. they are the main magnificent finding ingredient ever. they variety and length. and finally they create their total international on their backs, and nevertheless amange to have the potential to consume small bugs and rodents and stuff (properly if a snapping turtle)

    I would suggest a eastern Blue tongue lizard.

    They are easy to take care of.

    Only need a 50 gallon tank (that's not much)

    And they are so fun and friendly!
