Hi
I was just wondering what everyones oppinion was on the top 3 most easily handled, placid good natured snakes.
This is in general not on a single snake they had which was really good, but just in general..
Cheers

Personally don't like labelling any species as placid or aggressive... I know everyone covers themselves with the "i know there'll be an exception" spiel, but I've had far too many exceptions  Insanely aggressive ball pythons and coastals, bitey bredls, even a corn snake once that tried to kill me on several occasions. And the only scrubbie I've ever handled was a darling 
If I had to though (lol) bredls, bhps (my experience)

Don't forget the Innisfail water pythons, they are absolute sooks.

Have to agree with "hey im sam" on this one! Ive seen snappy bredli and very snappy diamonds and I have owned 3 scrubbies which have all been really easy to handle (one of them being the most placid snake I have ever owned). It really depends on the individual snake more than the species of snake.

My big girl Water and my two biggest bredli or my coastals. They just can't get any more placid.

I am definately with Greebo on this one in regards to the Murray Darlings. Most Blackheads that I have come across are really handable too.
You are always going to find a nice nature in all species at some stage I guess. Just got to keep perservering I guess.
