I'm not sure if you should be looking for animals purely because they are less common, you are better off maybe narrowing it down to a group, say Carpets, then deciding from that group which animals you would like.

Boyd's Forest Dragons? They look fantastic on display and are pretty uncommon.

I get the wow factor over common snakes, all depends on the animals markings and colouration. It doesn't really matter how common or uncommon the animal actually is.

I think they are somewhere in the vicinity of $600-700 for a young 'un.
